So as for percentages vs. ratios, I'm not sure I see what would be gained. In particular, the ratio of top!Harry to bottom!Harry fics *should* just be the reciprocal of the ratio of top!Draco to bottom!Draco fics. This is because top!Harry = bottom!Draco and top!Draco = bottom!Harry. If you're getting different ratio reciprocals, it'll be because of wonky tagging, and I don't think that tells you anything special.
Or am I missing something? I admit that while I'm a math person (I have an undergrad degree in math), I'm not really formally trained in statistics, so if there's something I don't understand please tell me. I don't mind being schooled :)
