I remember a while ago, someone asked if Ron was wrong and prefects could take house points. I don't know if the matter was ever cleared up, so



In OoTP, you find out that Draco can take and give points because he's part of the Iquistorial Squad implemented by Umbridge. So, NO, prefects cannot dock points, Ron was right.

Aha, but prefects here can. That's why we're so cool xD

Actually, JK Rowling answered that question on her site and she said Ron got it wrong; prefects can indeed deduct points.

If I remember rightly from JKR's website, she said that Ron got it wrong and they could, really. Although why Draco wouldn't have jumped at the chance to call Ron a misinformed idiot, I'll never know.

Maybe the practise of allowing Prefects to do that was abolished? Somebody might have gotten a bit too trigger happy?

I bet Draco didn't know because do you honestly think he would pay attention when they are given rules and whatnot? probably not. and yea, i could see them abolishing the rules, or maybe it has to go to the head of the house first before points can be taken away

Oh, I think he would pay attention - to that, at least. He'd want to on becoming a prefect. Ron wouldn't, I don't think, as he wouldn't be as happy to dock points as Draco.

Meh, I don't know.

Yeah, but Percy docked points from Ron in CoS, remember?
