Hmm, yes, canon does seem to be a bit bare as far as Head Boy 
candidates are concerned. And Rowling has certainly been positioning 
Ernie as a Percy-ish character. I just wonder, so no one thinks Ron 
has a chance? I mean, I was extremely surprised when he was made a 
prefect in the first place, but he seems to have stayed out of
trouble 
since then - not too many detentions, been part of the Quidditch 
Championship-winning team, and seems to be making decent grades (from 
OWL evidence). And we know of past precedents of both the Head Boy
and 
the Head Girl coming from the same house (and becoming lovers, but 
let's not go there).
