It occurs to me that Malfoy could very possibly be head boy for the 
very reasons you mention (fun for JKR to write, DD not at the school 
at the beginning of the year...perhaps Snape will be left in charge 
due to the absence of both DD and McGonagall)  

It is my belief (and it is fairly far fetched and probably previously 
mentioned) that Harry will take on the pre-OWL DADA classes (with 
Dumbledore or some unknown doing the NEWT classes).  In other words, 
he will have far too much responsiblilty AND power to need the head 
boy position.  I also love the idea of spending the next two books 
watching Snape wrestle with the student Potter and the peer Potter at 
the same time!

Quietly slipping away again.
