I have been reading the "Ron as Prefect post" since it started and I 
just wanted to ask one questions...

Lets say "hypothetically" of course that when Dumbledore sat down 
and decided who was going to be the Gryffindor prefect he decided 
that it would "obviously" be Harry, because we all know that Ron 
doesn't deserve to breath the same air as wonderful, great, perfect 
Harry more or less receive a highly coveted position such as prefect 
over Harry... So in the fifth book how do you think Harry would act 
like, as prefect? Do you think he would have pinned on his prefect 
pin and all of a sudden turn into everything that Hermione, and 
Ernie would hope for, turn into the embodiment of all Percy stands 
for? Or do you think he would react the exact same way (if not 
similar) to the way Ron reacted? Because I can see Harry doing the 
same things that Ron did... I can see Harry being intimidated by the 
twins, finding having to deal with the first years annoying, what 
else did Ron do? (That wasn't a mistake on JKR's part)
can't think of anything... Maybe because we really didn't get to
see Ron while he was being prefect. Who's to say that Harry would 
have made a *better* prefect? Do you think that Harry would have 
jumped up in an instant to defend his ladylove, the one person who 
has ever been loyal to him, the one girl who knows him as no one 
else does, his perfect life partner, the girl of his dreams, smart, 
perfect, beautiful, can do no wrong... Harry's "other half"... errrr 
(rolls eyes) I mean Hermione, from the twins? Or do you think that 
he to would have coward behind a book? Because he just didn't want 
the confrontation with the twins (who would?)... I just don't think 
Harry would have "all of a sudden" turned into Percy, the embodiment 
of all things "prefect" but I guess it would be acceptable for Harry 
to act the way Ron did about his prefect duties, but not! Ron! I 
mean... has the boy died yet? Come on JKR save us all the pain of 
having to read about horrible, immature, "not loyal to Harry" Ron.

Who loves Ron, Harry, and Hermione equally... just feeling really 
sarcastic, and annoyed by that fact that if Harry does it, its OK, 
but if Ron does it, its Criminal; and how some H/Hr's
"belittle" Ron to "up" their ship.
