How odd.  That's exactly the same things that Harry wasn't
for in PS/SS.  After all, when the Trio went down the corridor 
on the third floor, they were

1. Sneaking out at night, breaking school rules (after having 
been caught before!)
2. Sticking their noses in and interfering with school-approved
business (after multiple warnings from Hagrid!)
3. Entering an area (not exactly a tunnel) that was clearly,
absolutely, without a doubt off-limites to all students, including
any stray werewolves
4. Endangering themselves (three students).

Clearly, breaking school rules and interfering with school
business isn't that big a deal at Hogwarts.

Neither is endangering fellow students, as we don't hear 
about any punishment for Sirius--who endangered two 
fellow students to Snape's one.
