Just a few hours later, he will tell Harry, "There’s not a single witch or wizard who went bad who wasn’t in Slytherin," completely glossing over the fact that man who betrayed Harry's family was a Gryffindor.
But Hagrid didn't know that at the time.
I'm trusting Hagrid on this one; James was Head Boy. It fits in beautifully with Rowling's whole mind frame, the King and Queen of Gryffindor, Harry then matching up with Ginny (I'll be you a dollar Miss Weasley was officially annointed as Queen of Hogwarts in her last year), then James & Lily being recycled anew through the third generation.
Yeah, nothing was too good for Lily or Harry. James was most definitely Head Boy!
