> So it seems to me that Dumbledore chooses prefects based on his 
uncanny insight into the students themselves and their needs.  I'm 
still trying to figure out how Percy and Draco fit into this scenerio, 
though. ;-)


Potioncat:
During Harry's years at Hogwarts, we've only known one Head Boy and no 
Head Girl. The new Prefects for Harry's 6th year weren't mentioned, 
even though Ginny would have been eligible. After all the excitement at 
the Weasley house in the 5th year, it doesn't even come up in the 6th 
year. So I suspect we won't even hear about Head Boy in the next book.

At least, that was what I thought until I read this post. I've snipped 
the two quotes that had to do with Ron and Harry as Prefects, but we 
just may see Ron as Head Boy. 

But, back to Prefects. I would say that at Hogwarts, the Heads of House 
have a major input for the Prefects. We don't know who McGonagall or 
Snape nominated. 

As for Draco, he is a leader, and perhaps Snape/DD thought he could use 
a "constructive" outlet for his leadership skills and some extra 
wholesome activities to fill his time. Too bad they didn't keep him 
busier in his 6th year!
