No: HPFGUIDX 101068 magicmom2001: Lupin said he was prefect (bk 5) hopefully to influence his friends. Perhaps Malfoy is chosen for his leadership abilities. Whether he chooses for good or bad, he is a strong leader. Also, I guess to be HB/HG, you don't have to be a prefect. Lily & James had the honor although James was never a prefect. Nice talking to you Magicmom2001
