Finwitch:

You know, only Hermione had a problem with that, and even she admitted
that F&G weren't breaking any rules. So um -- no one else saw any need
to do anything.

We don't know who Gryff 7th Year Prefects were in OOP - Lee Jordan
maybe? - but whoever that was, well... don't forget that these pranks
were later used against Umbridge (and all but Draco&co were against
her). Even the Professors secretly supported this prank-war against
Umbridge. Why not 7th-year prefects? (6th years would ALSO be younger
than F&G, mind you... and maybe they were in as well).

Actually, it seems to me that aside from Umbridge&Filch, only ones
against it would of been Molly and Hermione. Besides, it's not like
F&G ever had much regard for prefecthood - Angelina as Quidditch
Captain would hold something over them, but not since Umbridge kicked
them out of the team...
