Thank you! This is the first sustained horror story I've written- most of the time, it's just darker scenes in the middle of longer stories- so I'm very glad you like it.
Harry and Draco's relationship is unstable now, and about to become more so (no shit, right?). Harry keeps trying not to violate his own boundaries or Draco's, and in the process he keeps offering Draco not enough or too much.
I think canon Harry has adapted remarkably well to his time at the Dursleys- so well, that he probably imagines everyone else has the same resilience. He can decide otherwise, but he has to be reminded of it first.
I'm not sure if Harry's public speaking adventure will come up later on in the story or not. Suffice it to say that it was really embarrassing.
Harry literally has no idea what's going on right now. And he's wary to judge Draco innocent. After all, maybe he was the one who threw a spanner in the works at the last moment and caused the Department of Mysteries to become what it is now.
The Pensieves have a specific purpose, which is hinted at in the next chapter.
