I can tell you more, behind a spoiler tag here. ^^
The non-con dynamic, is partly due because for the first half of the story Harry doesn't know he's with Draco. He thinks he's with this other man that Draco is pretending to be, this escort/rentboy called Tristan. They fuck and Harry even hires him to live with him for a month, and Harry gives himself to Tristan over and over, you can see him falling for this guy. But through this Draco hates Harry. He blames Harry for all he's gone through, because Harry saved him (from Azkaban), but didn't save, didn't help him (them, really Pansy and co) to make their lives easier in a post-war world that hates the Slytherins and Death Eaters.
Harry's characterisation, well, the story is written in Draco's POV, and like I said, for the first half Draco hates Harry, and so he sees Harry through his hate, his denial of the person Harry is, that's his truth, and it takes him a while for him to see the whole person Harry is, but by then Harry's learn Draco's ruse and he's furious.
Here's another thing that might come as dub-con, because while Harry is still furious with Draco, they still fuck, Draco consents, Draco wants Harry, but the fucking, those first times after Harry knows the whole truth aren't loving and pretty, are angry and intense.
But then, once Draco sees, once Draco realised he is in love with Harry, see this magnificent, beautiful man Harry truly is. Harry's flawed, too, he has issues, but he's Harry, angry and hurt, but trying to give Draco the chance, to maybe even make things work between them.
I think, like vaysh said, it's Draco who's taught a lesson.
And not that you asked, but Hermione is awesome. :)
