I guess my question would be, why *wouldn't* he be one?

We all know he's a little brown noser anyway. He's seemingly a 
pretty bright kid with influence over his peers. He's obviously a 
better candidate than Crabbe or Goyle. Theo Nott maybe? Nah, he's 
not a leader from what I've seen.

Im pretty sure it'll come to Draco or Harry as HB in year 7 but 
given DDs reasons for not making Harry a prefect, surely he wouldnt 
give Harry the Headboyship... would he?

Same goes for Quidditch Captain. Harrys got enough to be getting on 
with.
