The idea that Keatson had no other wish than to taste the pain death is, not out of existential curiousity about death as a concept but just because he wanted to, is absolutely creep-tastic. *shudders a lot* People with no motive are the scariest, because there's no solid rational, no reasoning behind their actions...just a blind desire, hard to comprehend by others.
The idea that Draco's decided Harry needs to be seduced with rational and reasoning versus just to be overwhelmed seems kind of odd to me, as I don't think Harry would listened to reasoning or rational at the start of all this. Now, though, that the idea has been implanted in his head by overwhelming means, rational and reasoning are the best method to approach him. Draco's nothing if not perceptive, for sure.
I understand Harry's fear of losing control and submitting to his 'fantasies'--that reference to the demon-worshipper case was pretty informative in that respect--but why is he so insecure and convinced that Draco will drop him like a sack of hot potatoes if he does so? Is it a self-confidence issue, or just an assumption to make life easier at the moment? I don't know, his attitude towards Draco's desire confuses me. I'd think he'd see clearly that Draco has no wish to give him up, even if he's a bit different than expected.
Finally, the information about the club being more than fulfilling sexual fantasies, and also fulfilling strong desires and needs on a not-sexual level, is really interesting. Though it makes me wonder if there are other entrances to the club, considering what the one Harry entered through looked like. I can't see little kids being brought to the corner of Knockturn and Roof Alley, with the scene you described taking place.
