But the only member of the faculty that we've seen him impress is Snape and 
we're not sure how much of that is Snape playing his role in front of Draco 
(who presumably would report to Lucius).  We know that McGonnogal & Hagrid 
don't like him and Dumbledore knows him for what he is.   We're not sure on 
the others, but if its a staight faculty vote, only one need dislike him to 
deny him election (presuming that Dumbledore votes against him).  And 
remember the new DADA teacher is going to be a Dumbledore appointment and its 
unlikely that given the tenor of the times that he would choose someone who 
would be sympathetic to the son of Lucius Malfoy (a major dark wizard).

As I said before, he may be a prefect if Snape has to choose him to further 
his disguise as a returned death eater.  But if that's ntot eh case, I can't 
see him being a prefect and certainly not Head Boy.
