In my theory, James would never have been a prefect. Lupin would have 
been the prefect for their year through yrs. 5,6, and 7. Then, due to 
some extrordinary circumstance, James was made Head Boy in their 7th 
year without the prefect background.

By the way, if they only chose prefects every three years, there 
would be no hope of Fred or George being one unless Percy lost his 
badge.  Molly would not have wanted that for any of her children.

Just my speculation.
