Sorry to weigh in so late but can't resist the chance to chatter about Remus/Draco. A lot of the appeal for me is just that I like Draco, and since he doesn't get much development in canon I'm always desperate for scenarios that explore different views of him. The dynamics between him and Remus are so different that they are in Harry/Draco that I find the pairing more interesting. And there are so many different ways to pair them, since Draco is a blank slate and Remus is so ambiguous. Whatever aspect of the character you want to explore, I think you can find a match in the other one.
There also are some really great writers that have written the pairing, and again since they both were left in kind of a grey area at the end of OoTP I think a lot of writers have used the pairing to explore where the Wizard World is going next.
You've been already recced some good stuff, especially the Aconite series and switchknife's stories (which are here (http://www.aeristerra.com/switchknife/fiction/shelterthefoe1.htm) and here (http://notquiteroyal.net/switchknife/fiction/devilyouknow.htm)). Besides those I would also suggest
-cjmarlowe's two stories, here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/cjmarlowe/322254.html) and here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/cjmarlowe/339871.html), for an elegant & lyrical war/postwar view
-blythely's remix of Worthy Prey (http://www.sprunkers.com/prey.htm) for Crazy!Draco (and the original is good for Predator!Remus)
- and donnaimmaculata's After the Storm Has Passed (http://www.livejournal.com/users/donnaimmaculata/9093.html) which is sort of the anti-Remus/Draco; that one is along the lines of what you say here: I can't see that Remus would be bothered by such an arrogant little shite like Draco
and and and I could go on all day but that's probably enough, right?
I hope you do try your hand at writing them; I'd love to see your take on it. (http://remix.illuminatedtext.com/dbfiction.php?fiction_id=196) ()
