It seems that to be Head-Boy or Head-Girl, one must be firstly a
Prefect.  Rubeus Hagrid states that Lily Evens and James Potter were
Head-Girl and Head-Boy.  James Potter was never a Prefect.  Perhaps
James Potter and maybe also Lily Evans never were Head-Boy and Head-
Girl:

Shelley:
But why are you assuming that James was never a Prefect? We see only a 
little of his life, and we get that he entered school as less-than-perfect, 
but we know he changed. Prefects aren't first years, they are in year 5. 
That's a long time to change, and we don't see a lot of James's life then- 
only really brief snapshots. I think Hagrid's memories are correct. His 
views about animals are opinions, but we've never heard him lie about a 
fact. We see from Snape the memories of James he wants to hold onto- Snape 
wants to forever hold in his mind the reasons he hated James Potter. But, we 
hear from Hagrid another view, one held without malice toward James, one 
recognizing who he became.
