I was just going to point out lomonaaeren, if you want a slytherin pov, but she's already been recommended. Wish she had more bottom!Draco fics.
I'd recommend Nightingale (http://www.bigbang.inkubation.net/bbb3/nightingale.html), if you haven't read it already, both characters are very much IC in all the things that really matter. But be warned, it is a dark fic and there are some things that you might find very disturbing, read the warnings.
Re: rant, I get exactly what you mean, I hate that too. One of the things I like about H/D is them coming to love each other despite their differences, and I get annoyed when the author takes the easy way out. What I disagree with is that I think Harry doesn't have a necessarily "good" personality, and I get annoyed when he's portrayed as a goody two shoes in fic, because in canon he's not, and I wouldn't love him otherwise. I hate it when in fics Harry's stereotyped as a Gryffindor, because not only it is weird to characterize based on house entirely, also because he's not even a whole Gryffindor, he's a Slythindor. I just hate it when in long fics, he's written as Pleasant McPleasant and Draco as Holy Mother of Snark, with them changing for the other in a completely OOC way (I hate it when Harry changes fundamental parts of his personality for Draco too). I think Draco has many good assets that Harry doesn't have, and Harry can do many a bad thing Draco wouldn't do. That's why I think the two can be a good influence on each other given enough time and understanding. But I usually don't read Slytherin POV fics, not because I don't like that or whatever, but because I can't stand a Harry who gets on with a racist Draco who haven't repented about that, and so many slytherin pov fics have that. Racism is one thing I can't budge about.
