I'll get back to you on prefect, though not opposed.  I want to see how many PC Quidditch Captains we have first, and also whether Xavril or Gustav becomes Head Boy (only received two votes so far).<br/><br/>I think it likely that there are a few families that still do arranged marriages, but they would be an extreme minority, with familial and status obligation being the driving force, not legal obligation.  Teenagers have always messed around, and I don't see that changing.  Friends with benefits would likely require a bit of discretion.<br/><br/>As for homosexuality, it seems that discretion was employed there.  Dumbledore is an excellent example.  Clearly he was able to succeed despite being both gay and a halfblood, though he didn't appear to be openly gay.  I imagine he just let others assume he was always too busy to settle down. I will say that there will not be any problem with it at the school, though there has not been an LGBT Minister of Magic, so there might be a glass ceiling of sorts.<br/><br/>
