I was confused by this at first, too.  Here is my understanding.  

If the team who catches teh snitch is loosing by no more than 150 
pts, they win (or tie ... is there such a thing as a tie game in 
Quidditch?).  

This exact thing happened at the Quidditch World Cup in GoF (as you 
suggested).  Krum caught the snitch (rather remarkably, if I'm 
remembering correctly) but Ireland still won b/c they were ahead by 
more than 150 pts.  

Does that help?  Anyone w/clarification on a tie score in Quidditch?

________________________________________________
If the Snitch is caught, that team automatically receives 150 points, 
and the game is over - usually 150 points is enough to win the game.  
But what happens if the Seeker accidentally catches the Snitch while 
they are losing by 151 points?

but did something like this happen with Krum?  I don't have the 
Goblet of Fire in front of me right now, so I can't consult.
