Well, thank you! I'll try not to disappoint. (I don't usually read WiP's myself).
Harry would have been willing to give Draco time to get over his physical disgust. But the immediate (as he saw it) rejection of him personally, as if he had asked to be tortured, was what made him walk away. Nevertheless, I agree that Draco's reaction is pretty easily understood, and I'd be hard put to do any better in the same situation.
Since the Healers have told Harry nothing will ever suffice to disguise or heal his injuries, he sees being asked to put on glamours as stupid and insulting- rather like someone asking a person in a wheelchair to please sit in an ordinary chair so that no one has to think of them any differently. But his main reason is that Draco wouldn't really put up with or be satisfied with the glamours, no matter what he says.
