I know this is silly of me, but I'm just wondering....

Are there actually people who read the HP books and go, 'omg, Harry is such a wuss, especially compared to Draco Malfoy'.

You know, Harry. The one who always runs and hides and cries in Malfoy's skirts leather trousers at first opportunity. Except for all those times he kicks his ass. But he doesn't really mean to do that, see, it's just an accident.

...And then they go on to write bottom!Harry/Draco.

Is that how it works?

Well, mostly it's that 'can't know'-- well, I'm no stranger to talking about Draco Malfoy, so that should be taken into consideration. While I like to hit him where it hurts, you can't seriously claim my understanding of the issues involved is so badly lacking-- that is, if you've read my more serious, non-partisan takes on Draco, you'd see that I don't tend to go around calling him names or mocking him at those times. I know there are 'better' reasons for Draco to be a bottom, right, and I know he's not a useless wimp-- but really, anyone with half a brain could get that much about Draco. But I wasn't trying to sound reasonable (as you noticed), I was just going for the 'fast buck', so to speak-- using a derogatory shorthand because it's fun and easy.
