Bookworm:
Ron has my vote too. Remember his skill at chess which requires a 
talent for strategy. Being able to think strategically is important 
for the captain.

Ernie MacMillan? Hmm. He's a bit stiff-necked, isn't he. Wouldn't it 
be like having Percy as Headboy again? I can't remember the girl who 
is the new Hufflepuff prefect in OoP - maybe she can give Hufflepuff 
the honor without the pomposity.
