It depends. There are entire communities for both.
There are some filled with BDSM-ish stuff where whomever's top is very cruel. It's been my experience that usually Harry's the top in those. I'm guessing people just like to see Harry go nuts and/or be evil here and there, and having him torture Draco in a sexual manner is a nice revenge against the way Draco treated him in school.
There are also lots where Draco is flamingly gay and has known he's gay for quite some time, but Harry is just catching onto the idea that he might be gay. Often in a very clumsy if charming kind of fashion (emmagrant01's novel-length fics are an excellent example). It's more common in those stories that Draco's the top, mostly because he's the only one who knows what he's doing! But even then, not always. :^)
