Even forgetting about the evidence for the theory(which Shaun 
concedes is weak), I have a basic problem with the idea of "secret 
Prefects": how has this theory advanced the plot any?  Apparently, 
they can't tell anybody about the fact because DD has more of them.  
The idea (from vmonte) that Fred and George may have done some things 
for DD makes sense.  But for DD to have a corps of "secret police" 
sounds creepy and totally out of character for DD.  Remember Prefects 
are for maintaining order and there is zero evidence that Fred and 
George would want anything to do with that and zero evidence that 
they did in fact have anything to do with that.

All in all, it seems like a very convoluted theory to try to explain 
Molly's remark.  The "secret Prefects" seem so secret that even JKR 
doesn't know about them.
