Actually, I'm a little bit curious about Ron being chosen Prefect 
too. I thought one of the requirements for this was that one was a 
good student (something the books imply is not true of Harry or Ron)
However, he has shown himself willing to sacrifice himself for the 
good of others. Remeber the chess game?

I think recognition like this was important in order for Ron and 
Harry to continue their friendship. After all, you can only be is 
someones shadow for so long. Perhaps Dumbledore realised this (he's 
fallible not foolish) and that's why Ron was made prefect.
