That's fine - I understood what you were meaning. Harry's situatation in both places was bad, it's just at the Malfoy's he isn't seeing it that way.
I'm glad you liked it; I was really trying to focus on the physical description that you wanted and the slow downward fall of Lucius. And I wanted both Draco and Harry to be seen as non-sexual, as still 'child-like' in a way, yet right there at the very edge of becoming men. That's why Harry felt he'd done something wrong - he simply didn't know any better, and Lucius took advantage of it.
I have been so busy writing (for this and three other fests) that I've only been able to bookmark the entries here, so I hadn't read yours yet. It is Severus that I had in mind when Lucius was remembering back to his Hogwarts days! So that really is a coincidence.
