    That’s correct - however, 150 points is a ridiculously high number that’s almost impossible to overcome. Every time the snitch was caught, that team won the game.

      You’re definitely right about it being a poorly-contrived scoring system, but there are a few games in the books where the team lost the game but grabbed the snitch. It’s always described as a “stem the bleeding” type decision

      Edit: sorry, now seeing the replies to your other comments saying this, I guess you know by now 😅

        This was a thing in the third book where Harry had to make sure they’re a certain number of points ahead before catching the snitch so that they’d not just win the match but also their school league.
