Well,i guess it is not stated anywhere that you must have to be a prefect first to become a headboy or a headgirl.. It may be the normal procedure that a prefect will become a headboy but Dumbledore was the headmaster and he could do anything...😉

Yes and another possible explanation could be that James was a Quidditch captain and they were considered equals to prefect so maybe this made his way clear for becoming a Headboy.

In book 6 chapter 6 it is written:

The day after this rather gloomy birthday tea, their letters and

booklists arrived from Hogwarts. Harry's included a surprise: He

had been made Quidditch Captain.

"That gives you equal status with prefects!" cried Hermione

happily. "You can use our special bathroom now and everything!"

I remember Harry asking Sirius in order of pheonix whether he became a headboy and sirius said no he was too busy spending time in detention along with james.. and the thought of his father not being a prefect made harry feel better... i dont think james was ever headboy or prefect...

Yep that was also a big question for me. And personaly I never wanted and liked seing James as a Headboy, it just kill his characterization. It's my humble opinion.
