Hi:

I think there are definitely more prefects than just one per house. The
2 compartments on the Hogwarts is one bit of evidence. Plus, aren't
the Head Boy & Head Girl chosen from the ranks of the prefects? And,
Percy was a prefect in his 5th & 6th years, which suggests that at the
very least there must be one prefect for each house in each of yrs 5-7
(based on Percy's overachiever status, I imagine he was made a prefect
at the earliest point possible). My guess is that there are 4-8 prefects
per house.

Maybe our UK members can add their thoughts.
