> Yeah, but you know, we found out in HBP that Quidditch captains
have equal status with prefects (Ch.6), so I guess James could be
appointed head boy anyway, because he was Quidditch captain :-). <

To add to this, I thought this was a JKR story but it was actually
someones (a fan) rendition of what he thought happened and it is a
good read and makes lots of sense. I think he is right on with this.
