My complaint about Quidditch is along the same lines. Why is it 10 
points for a goal and 150 points for a snitch catch? Why not 1 and 
15? Just to have the points rack up to a high score? I presume they 
just have the trailing zero painted on the scoreboard since it can't 
be anything else.

And furthermore - why don't they wear helmets? In the MTMNBN (maybe 
in the book, too, I don't remember) they wear gloves and shin pads, 
providing protection where it isn't needed, but nothing where it 
could do some good.
