Sorry to start theorizing right off the bat here, but I think perhaps 
we are jumping too quick to a possible flint. Perhaps this will 
develop into something with many important plot points. How about 
that for many in the Wizarding World, a werewolf as Head Boy would be 
revolting. Perhaps James takes on the Head Boy role to protect Lupin. 
My feeling is that there is a justified explanation for the shift in 
responsibility, not that this is a boarding school conduct flint.
