I think it's become a part of who we are to be in the middle of "hairy" situations. First year at Hogwarts we started off with a bang and it didn't stop after that. Not just the big things either. Those were much different. Hairy, yes, but different.
Most of them? Usually involved myself and Harry getting into some sort of trouble in that Professor Snape would have a bit of fun coming up with a proper punishment. Or at least a punishment that the school would actually allow him to give to us. Hanging students up by their toes in a basement isn't a proper punishment. Sometimes Hermione was involved, but she was probably usually too smart to get caught. In the beginning anyway. I think we were becoming a bad influence on her after a few years to bend the rules here and there.
There was the time I drove Dad's car into the Womping Willow. Getting pulled down into the Shrieking Shack.. was a little different also but still... hairy. Fighting the troll in the girl's bathroom when it went after Hermione. Pick a year and any of us can give you an example.
What? There's nothing wrong with getting into a bit of trouble here and there. Especially if it's all for a good cause. We are Gryffindors, after all.
