Unfortunately, I think fandom trends are partially to blame for the way people often treat roles. Someone realizes that bottom!Draco is more common, or reads someone else saying, "Harry is a natural top," and immediately decides that it must be written that way.
2) I can buy the idea of Draco as misled or misguided. Misunderstood? Not so much. I don't see what was hard to understand about his insulting Hermione or joining Umbridge's Inquisitorial Squad.
