The interesting point here is that in HP (and I'm
going to keep it about the book, because if I start
talking about my personal views I will never shut up)
the times that we have seen characters do this is has
been thier idea and not something they picked up from
older students.  I mean, Hermione didn't need some
older student to tell her about polyjuice potion - she
learned about it in class.  Dumbledore even gave Harry
the cloak for sneaking around.  Older students didn't
tell them to go into the COS or to go looking for the
PS.  What info/help they got from Fred and George they
sought out - didn't just overhear and decide to do it
(possible exception of passageways to Hogsmeade here).
 MWPP also didn't seem to get their cue from the older
students.  I just think it's worth pointing out.
