The potion seems to act in a way to reduce his anger, his lust, and his passion.
There is something essential missing which it suppresses- but I think it was only mentioned once or twice. Once it's talked about in more detail in Chapter 12, it should make sense.
You're right that this plays a large part in why he's lost his girlfriends to other people.
I've done less with Hermione's contribution to the intellectual games than I meant to, but that steps up in the second story. And I have to thank you again for the title 'An Alchemical Discontent'; it fits the second story so well.
