The way you described the aftermath of Severus' memory-restoration seemed very fitting, realistic and in character. Kudos for not having Harry offering a declaration of love with Legilimency-proof thrown in and Snape jumping for joy, grateful and instantly forgiving, both sinking in each others arms right after! This was much more believable - and healthy relationship-wise imo.
I also liked how you showed that Harry has indeed matured a bit while he was waiting and wondering how to proceed! It wasn't overdone or unrealistic (a la sudden super brainy!studious!wise!Harry) given his book personality. I could believe it and like the person he was starting to show - much more so than JKR's attempts to show him supposedly growing up in fact....
And I'd like to echo the first commenter: possessive, domineering Snape is love! And this one was particularly well done ^_^
