Thank you!  Yes, the slavery spell is still a huge deal to Harry.  He hasn't been dwelling on it so much lately, but that's because he's decided that he's going to go be with his parents and Sirius, so he's seeing the slavery spell as just very temporary.  He's still very upset, but it's helped him to think it will all be over soon.

Yes, Severus really does need to start picking up on the little abnormalities in Harry's behavior.  He is so insecure and jealous that he didn't even think about how out of character it was for Harry to refuse to see his friends...he was just happy that he could take Harry home with him.  And some of it, too, is just that he's so relieved about Voldemort's defeat and that Harry lived, that he's also lettting things slip by him that he might notice at another time.  He's in for a rude awakening, isn't he?

I loved the last line too.  Having a real home and a real family is so important to Harry.  He just can't see what's right in front of his nose.
