[HPforGrownups] Ron the Prefect

But you will certainly know *very* rapidly if there's a bad one around. 
If Ron was a bad prefect, I would have expected to see real signs of 
that in the text, considering his close proximity to Harry. The fact we 
don't see any signs of him being a bad prefect really does indicate a 
high likelihood that he is at least competent. 
Snipet:

 
Expecting him to deal well with his older brothers isn't reasonable. And 
with (presumably) five other prefects in the House, four older than him, 
two of his brother's age, it is not a major failing. Indeed, if Ron 
*had* to deal with his brother's because nobody else was available, I'd 
consider that a major failing of the more senior prefects who should be 
looking out for their less experienced colleagues.

My reply: To be honest, I don't think the prefects did much.   I think that Umbridge took most of their point away.  Actually that's stated ( I don't have my book my mom is reading it) but Umbridge is trying to undermind the whole prefect system.
