 Re: feel pity vs feel sorry
I agree with you. I think 'I feel sorry for you' is probably nore natural in most contexts, but 'I feel pity for N' [where N is a person] is perfectly acceptable - and in some contexts (when someone had asked about an emotion) it would be better than 'sorry':
'Don't you feel anything for me?'
'I feel pity for you.' [You wanted a noun, so here it is!]
