Potioncat:
We know that Remus, not James was the Prefect for Gryffindor, just as 
Ron not Harry was the Prefect for their Hogwarts years.

I'm pretty sure JKR has verified that Lily and James were the Head- 
girl and Head-boy when they were 7th year students. Lily was a 
prefect as well. I don't know the actual interview.
