In Harry Potter 5 book why does dumbledore appointed malfoy and pansy parkinson, did he trust them?
I think that each Head of House selects the candidates for prefect and the Headmaster makes the final decision. I find it very hard to believe that Dumbledore thought that Draco and Pansy were trustworthy, or the most deserving students in Slytherin. He must have known they would abuse their position and threaten other students with detention and dock them House points.





Draco has been Snape's favorite student since the first book and he has always been very tolerant of Pansy's behavior, although he has very little patience with anyone else. It makes sense that they would be *his* choice for prefect. And, when someone needed to speak with Cedric Diggory's parents about his death, Dumbledore said that that person was Professor Sprout because she was his Head of House and knew him best.
Reply:Why Malfoy? Easy--his dad's on the school board. Plus, Dumbledore knows Draco isn't truly evil like his daddy.





Why Pansy? Um... because the only other female Slytherin mentioned in the books is Millicent Bulstrode?
Reply:You mean appointed as Prefects? There's one boy and one girl from each house. Draco was an obvious choice. The only other boys you really see mentioned are Crabbe and Goyle, and they're both dunces. As far as Pansy, we don't really hear alot about her. I mean, we know she's close to Draco, but other than that, we don't know anything about her. Maybe she's as good a student as Hermione is.
Reply:probablly not but maybe they are the most trustworthy in slytheran
Reply:snape nominated them tht's why.he has to pick whoever is nom. fr slytherin hse as prefects..like hermione fr gryffindor,she's chosen as she's d best n most brilliant in tht hse. nut ron???he's not smart,not brave..but he's chosen b'c he next best to harry=dumbledore has own reasons for mcgonagall not to chose harry wh. she badly wanted..note how suprise all r in ootp.
