$\displaystyle xyy' = (x + y)^2$ for y(1) = 0.

You might be able to separate this (you'll need a change of variables if you can even do it) but note that your initial condition isn't part of the solution set:
$\displaystyle xyy' = 1 \cdot 0 \cdot y'(1) = 0$ for any value of y'(1)

but
$\displaystyle (x + y)^2 = (1 + 0)^2 = 1$

Nicely done. But I still object to the initial condition. In order to find the solution to the DEq you divided both sides by xy. So y(1) = 0 is still outside the solution set.
