JLV:
Actually Hermione says that there are two *fifth year* prefects from 
each house - I take this to mean that two fifth years are made 
prefects every year, so each house has three male and three female 
prefects at all times. It does not seem to be necessary to be a 
prefect to become Head Boy/Girl (James wasn't made a prefect in his 
fifth year but was Head Boy), but you can be both at the same time 
(like Percy). It may be that James was made a prefect in addition to 
Lupin, or Lupin gave up/was stripped of the honour, making it so the 
Head Boy is/was a prefect, but canon doesn't give us any information 
on this.

Amie:
I always thought that Lupin was prefect, but James was made Head Boy. 
If someone, like Percy, was a prefect and then named Head boy, I 
wonder if they replace them with a new prefect.


JLV:
The potential is there for Ginny to be a prefect, especially as she 
showed her mettle so well at the DoM and she hasn't made trouble like 
Fred and George. The only question is whether or nor there are better 
candidates in her year in the house. My instinct is to think that 
there aren't, and Mrs Weasley is going to be a very happy lady.


Amie:
I have to agree with you. When reading OotP I found this quote about 
Ginny.
"Yea, size is no guarantee of power," Said George. "Look at Ginny" 
(US hardback, pg 100)
I think this backs up that she is capable of being prefect and also 
may hint at her becoming a bigger player in the future. It could also 
have been forshadowing to her role at the MoM....but I just don't 
know!
