Thank you. That's a very important step for Harry, the one you identified: he has to know that he can act 'against' Draco, and still have his trust and affection.
I think Draco's upbringing is showing here. He thinks gifts are the best way to prove love, especially if they inconvenience the giver, because they show he's going out of his way for you. He hasn't quite adapted to the idea that his company alone is enough for Harry.
Lila improved a lot. Of course, finding out that the Minister was corrupt and using Dark magic probably had something to do with it.
