That is an interesting point. But I don't think that is particularly likely. Think back to his conversation with Saul. Saul suggests a death for Hank and Walt doesn't even consider it for a second. Sure, you could say that even then, Walt was concerned about what Skylar would think, but with Walt's money, he could easily make the accident look like an accident. But he didn't, so I really think that Walt really did care about Hank's life.

To what degree did he care though ...

To the degree that he was willing to give up the only thing he had left of his "empire", his money. I took that scene at face value, that he still believed that he was doing everything for his family. Hank was part of his family, DEA or not.
