Erin:
It's a new addition-- but still doesn't solve the problem!  

What about Fred and George shoving the slytherin prefect into the 
cabinet?  They still have no reason to do that, or notice anything 
new, as they aren't prefects themselves!

The only thing that would have made sense was to have said prefects 
couldn't take points from houses other than their own...
