Wow, I've read all 54 chapters in less than two days and I'm absolutely captivated by this story.
It is by far one of the best Snarry fanfictions I have read, if not the best, and I cannot wait to read the continuation.
You are an incredibly talented and creative writer, reading this story is like reading an actual novel but better, since most novels don't entail yaoi and your style being very unique, frank, detailed and humorous.
You've also, pretty much, managed to keep all characters 'in character' despite the story's plot and setup, a constantly masturbating Harry isn't exactly considered 'typical behavior' on his part but you've still managed making it credible. I also really enjoyed the facts that Harry didn't break too easily (I also dislike that in fanfictions), that he still held onto his love for Ginny (even though I dislike her) despite everything and that he didn't fall in love with Snape immediately but that it's taking its time like it naturally would.
Additionally, I like how you haven't beautified Snape but kept him like J.K Rowling has described him, which most authors fail to do, and that the smut scenes are deliciously written, I get a nosebleed every time (jk) :P.
I hope you update soon.
Keep up with the good work and good luck with the writing.
Take care. Hugs(^.^)/

Excellent chapter. Keep up the good work.
Also, I'm not sure wards were necessarily an option for Voldy. Honestly, if no one knew about the horcruxes, who would ever think to look? Personally, I think if you just took an item and tossed it in the woods or some other random place, who could ever find it? Voldemorte did so much to cover up his past that, on the unlikely chance you somehow knew about horcruxes, where would you think to find them. The one in the vault was the most obvious spot. Its the only place you might actually think to look for something. Everything else was just in some random location. The objects were hidden from site based on their seemingly "obvious" unimportance. When you trust noone, you have to assume that those with access are going to try to find out what your secrets are.

Chapter 5
Even when Snape did things that were decent it was an attempt to control Harry.
I think this is at the crux of your Severus, here, and it is a fascinating tale of warden and prisoner that you have going so far. I must confess, starcrossed, that I tried to read your story way back when you fist started it (on TQP, and we had an interesting dialogue about Snarry), but I think I was too busy looking for something else at the time. Noticing how far you've gotten in this story, I decided to give it a read---all 52 chapters of it---so we'll see how far I get.
I love how you are keeping Harry so defiant in the face of his capture. This is exactly how I would see him responding and reacting based on what we know of Harry's past. And because he has familiarity with Snape, the baiting and taunting is expected. I think the way they fight with each other is spot-on in this scenario. Although, I have to agree with Harry, why would Snape think that a teenage boy is going to find being amenable to his captors and not attempting to escape is the smart thing to do, is beyond me. Harry's life is at stake, and he's a fighter. He'd resist til the end. Snape should know this, at least, about the boy.
One question...my eyesight is fine, for the most part, so I don't get how Harry is able to read a book without his glasses. If you are far-sighted, is it really that easy to read small print in such a huge, involving tome as the Hugo?
Anyway, you have me so worried for Harry's mental state and what Voldemort plans to do to him. I like that you give us Harry's pov when he's being tortured because it makes it more vile and realistic. I can see how Snape's machinations have worked on Harry, even as the boy struggles to understand what is happening and how he can make things work to his advantage. It's great that you are showing us that Harry is much, much sharper than Snape has ever given him credit for, but alas, Harry is still innocent to a lot of adult manipulations. MacNair is truly frightening.
You are setting up a real Stockholm syndrome scenario, and I wonder if you have ever seen The Night Porter? I'm attempting to begin a full-length version of a torture fic I wrote not too long ago, so I find a lot of your plot and subtext fascinating.
