I think Dumbledore is too wise to make harry a prefect- far too much 
rule-breaking. Hermione will be prefect and she'll love it!!

Speaking of Snape, I wonder why he didn't know anything about Peter 
being the spy? If Peter had been passing informations for one entire 
year, it seems quite impossible that he and Severus have never met in 
a DE meeting. Is it possible that Snape knew it but didn't tell 
dumbledore anything because of that ridiculous schoolboy-grudge?

Yes, that was exactly my point! The situation before Voldemort's 
downfall was a bit Far West- Aurors given the permission to put the 
unforgivable curses on every suspect. Not very safe for Peter. 
Certainly, he wouldn't have lived up to his dreams of being a hero, 
staying at Hogwarts and doing nothing, but *that* sacrifice doesn't 
seem too big to me, you could ask it from everybody, not just from 
the ideal hero.
