JKR certainly gave Kingsley enough attention in OOTP for a new, 
apparently secondary character.  The most interesting line of his 
related to your discussion occurs when all are surprised that Harry 
didn't get named a prefect.  On the idea of naming Harry prefect, 
Kingsley says something like, "It's what I'd have done."  Now that's 
an interesting line because, on the surface, it's quite 
presumptious.  For Kingsley's line to be taken seriously, it would 
need to be likely that he could be in a position to grant such an 
honor.  I think the line is certainly an argument for your ideas.
