Now I'm not sure I agree with that. Fred and George could get away with it
because they weren't planning on hanging around afterwards - any other
student could *in theory* get property back by magic but then they'd be in
even more trouble, and since they would still be at the school they'd be
even more strictly punished and lose even more points. If something has been
confiscated from you as a punishment you'd have to really not care about the
consequences to try and get it back.
