I really loved everything about it, especially the plot and the suspense - I couldn't stop reading, I was so immersed - the post-war vision you created was ineffably captivating. The dismal insidiousness of that comprehensive memory spell and Harry's quandary in this nightmarish situation was very convincing.
I loved how you didn't make Harry into the all-powerful hero, choosing instead to show him as an ordinary man, trying to make the best of the situation he found himself in. He's still special, there's no doubt about that. But it's his humanity and inherent good nature, as well as his strength of character that make him stand out.
And your Draco was amazing! Stripped of his past, he really had a chance to prove himself as his own person, and make his own decisions, and he fared remarkably well.
Ok, I'll stop gushing now :) and just reiterate that I loved it! *g*
