JJ's reply:
Harry recognizes that it is usually a senior member of the team who is 
made captain, so he does not expect himself to be given the position.  
However, prefects are chosen during 5th year, so he knew he was 
eligible for the position and since there were so few 5th-year 
Gryffindor boys to choose from, he figured he had a good chance of 
being selected.
