Here's the thing: feeling abandoned by her only friend at a young age obviously left Starlight developmentally stunted, emotionally-speaking. Those years of growing up with Sunburst were among the happiest in her life, and her wanting to recapture that feeling speaks volumes to that.

Was it unhealthy? Yes. Was it childish? Yes. But because she's so challenged in the emotional development department, it's all Starlight knows how to do (short of relapsing into her old, villainous ways -- which I'm sure someone like you would enjoy, Starlight6271, but would just be character regression after all the growth she's been through over the last two seasons).

She played to her strengths: using magic to fix her problems. It wasn't out of a desire to "have Sunburst to herself". it was out of a desire to reconnect with the only pony she felt she really had anything in common with.
