And holy crackers, Scorpius is so adorable! *squishes*
“My Daddy loves me,” he said. “And I like you, so he’ll have to like you.”
From the mouths of babes, eh? His simple, black-and-white view of the world is such a perfect counterpoint to the emotional turmoil going on between Harry and Draco. He's obviously spoiled, but certainly not a brat. I can't wait to see more of him!
Oh, yes. But he'll have a chance to be slightly less of one next chapter.
And thank you! Of course he'll be involved further in the story, but I think he does a lot in this chapter: making Draco see that not everyone hates Harry on sight, and Harry see that Draco isn't warped all the way through just because he rejected Harry.
I've been thinking since I read the first chapter whether Draco was completely wrong to demand from Harry to use glamors. It is obvious that Draco still loves Harry. As it is obvious that Draco is not a completely superficial person. If Harry's face looks as horrible as described and easy glamors are available, I would have been asking for them as well. I do not think it would have meant less love.
I see Harry's point of view that he needs to act as a live evidence of how truly horrible Dark Arts can be. It is very noble of him. And it is important for the society. Still Harry and Draco could have thought about a compromise, e.g., Harry does not wear glamors in public as a statement against Dark Arts, but uses glamors at home not to make Draco flinch. Relationships are about compromises after all.
More than the glamours themselves, it was the reasons Draco was asking for them that disgusted Harry. He has never placed that much emphasis on appearance, so the idea that Draco had made him think there was less love- that what Draco had loved was his looks, not him.
And I think that would have been a good compromise. Unfortunately, neither was in that mood; Harry wanted to show his affliction at all times, and Draco wanted them covered at all times.

Unfortunately, Draco confuses innocence with ignorance.
