Mmmm. Yeah. I can totally see a throat-and-mouth fixation. See, I once tried to write a fic for my friend Kasi with a hands fixation... and I couldn't really see it. I wrote this whole bunch of overly-detailed obsessive watching-of-hands, but it didn't really ring true to me. I didn't know where I was going because while hands really say a lot about a person and I -could- see Draco being insanely obsessive enough to notice them in Harry, I don't think they have hypnotic power, not for Harry or Draco. They might for Snape or Lupin, mayyyybe, but Harry & Draco would be all about mouth/eyes/neck. Maybe arse/cock/etc but that'd be too obvious, somehow.
But a neck has so much connotations that really fit H/D-- its baring denotes loss of control, being overwhelmed, primal instinct. And I can totally see it being a powerful aphrodisiac for both of them on an unconscious level. A mouth would be further along, you know, closer to romance. It'd progress to the mouth-- the focus on the ease of drawing blood from it, it being where words come from, the way you can shut someone up with it, the way you can -possess- it. Lastly would come the eyes-- the hot-seat of all emotional communication, all the lust/anger/need/etc coming through. But first would be the cock and the neck, I think :> heh.
I love the dark path idea, now that you mention it. I think both of them are on dark paths in one way or another, though. Darkness and light intersect so much, and I think that's where the power lies for both of them-- in the shadowy corners, in the unexpected twists and mergers of meaning. I think they can share a path 'cause both of them are just so unpredictable and wild. And of course there's the thing where Harry's having everything -he's- believed in sptripped away too. They're there in the dark, together. Mmmmmm if only they'd notice they're not alone, things'd start cookin' :D :D :D :D
