These kinds of things are absolutely the best things to think about when you're procrastinating, LOL! (And 'physically submissive' is a much better term than 'bottom', because it infers a wider range of sexual acts other than penetration, so thank you for that!)
I think when it comes to H/D, the characterisation is the most important thing for me as to whom I'd prefer to top and/or bottom. Like, is Draco a self assured ministry worker? Or is he a drama-queen wedding planner? Is Harry the Head Auror? Or has he hidden himself away on a dirigible plum farm? Other factors are of course important - maybe having to appear self-assured in meetings means that Draco really wants to come home and have someone else in charge for a while, for example - but when it comes to H/D, I really think that it's the story and how the characterisations help tell that story that dictate my preferences, turning them into a case-by-case basis. Which is simultaneously annoying and an incredibly awesome facet of this ship, haha!
