I'm the same: Befuddled American, but I have an idea, although it may not be 
correct.
  I figured that prefects are one boy and one girl from fifth and sixth year 
from each house. There are no seventh year prefects because there is the 
Head Boy and Girl.
  I remember in SS/PS that Percy was in his fifth year and Ron said that 
Percy got new robes and an owl because he became a prefect.
  I think that if the prefect age was younger, we would have seen someone 
(Hermione) a prefect already. So I stand by that it's fifth sixth year.
