No it all depends on how it is used in a sentence. If you say "I harbor strong feelings of affection towards my spouse" the negative connotation is not there.
Good Luck!!!

Ships harbor in port from a storm to stay safe. I wouldn't think that's negative.
And you can harbor good feelings as well as bad (and grudges).

No not necessarily.
To give shelter to: harbor mentally ill, or sick.
To provide a place, home, or habitat for: a basement that harbors a maze of pipes; streams that harbor trout and bass.
To entertain or nourish (a specified thought or feeling): harbor feelings of love for someone.
