> In Real Life. teachers 'fiddle' the results somewhat so that they get the
outcome they want. I do recall my mother telling me she was madea  prefect
becuase she was a dilitory and unruly student and this was a con to get her
to behave. Dunno that Dumbledore would do this, or that such manipulations
would extend to Head Boy-ness.

Highly unlikely they would take that risk with the Head Kids.  Anyhow, I
think the Head Boy and Girl need to have been prefects first, and they'd
hardly put someone who couldn't cope with that in charge.  However, it is
possible that James got made a prefect in an attempt to make him more
responsible, and it worked.  Also bear in mind that it was James who saved
Snape's life after Sirius sent him down the Whomping Willow passageway to
Lupin-as-werewolf.  Meaning he can't have been that badly behaved to begin
with.
