Ceridwen:
Can't help with the interview, sorry.  But I do have an idea of why 
James became Head Boy.  Ron and Hermione were Prefects for Gryffindor.  
Harry was the Quidditch captain.  He gets the same sorts of privileges 
as the Prefects.  I suggest that Quidditch captains could also be 
considered for Head Boy or Head Girl, and that James was Captain of the 
Gryffindor Quidditch team in school.
