The way that I interpreted it was that the houses got one point for 
house points (or at least the Quidditch cup) for each point scored in 
the game.  There's an argument about this in PoA after the Gryffindor 
loss to Hufflepuff and how much everyone needs to win or lose by.

Also, remember that Harry and Co. tend to lose points left and right, 
especially in Snape's class.  If they didn't have hundreds of 
Quidditch points they'd probably never win the house cup!
