Overall, Sona sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Varus. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN.

This change may indicate that Varus does not provide cover for her to deal more damage or that his participation also helps increase the round's duration.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Varus.
Moreover, when Sona plays with Varus on the same side, she usually receives a little less damage than when she plays alone. Receiving not as much damage may mean that Varus does a decent job of protecting Sona during teamfights.

Is Sona better when played alongside Varus?
There is no ideal champion pairing for Sona that will always be her top teammate. However, overall, Varus is a very typical teammate for Sona. By being on the same side as Sona, he drops their win rate by -0.5% to 49.9%. This clearly indicates that there is not really a strong bond between Sona and Varus that results in them performing not as well together than alone.
Varus has a lower difficulty than Sona. That means you don't need to be cautious when lining up Varus teammates to fight alongside, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to work well with you.
When playing cooperatively, Sona players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to provide utility and CC for your side. When paired, these champions may be able to carry with the power of their abilities.
Although, by aligning Sona and Varus together, you probably will not be granting your side enough tankyness. Make sure to bring other champions on your team that neutralizes this gap in their playstyle.
Regardless of the skill of your Varus teammate, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
