(I stopped liking the man after reading OOTP!!!)
Just my 2 cents worth.

I agree with you that Draco is a bully and that it's hard to believe 
no other Slytherin could've been appointed Prefect. But that is 
because of who Draco is IMO - and has nothing to do with his father.
And maybe Dumbledore knows things about Draco that we don't yet know 
(or never will) that justifies his making Draco Prefect. After all - 
we only see Draco through Harry's eyes.
