This is something that has bothered me for a while. Why was Ron ever 
made a prefect? Hermione you can understand kind of (very clever 
etc). But why Ron? and then also why Harry(if the suggestion comes 
true!)? Surely there are other more deserving people? Each are not 
the cleverest, they are not exactly reknown for sticking to school 
rules, never mind enforcing them and they are not on especially good 
terms with other houses (Slytherin in particular). Surely there must 
be other people who are just as clever,if not more, quieter people 
who do not break rules,who are not so openly hated? Wouldnt it be a 
good idea to give the badge to someone who wouldnt cause trouble 
between the houses?


Sorry, its rather trivial I know but I honestly dont see why either 
Ron or Harry deserves the badge over somebody like Dean or Seamus?
