bboy_mn:
Considering how quickly the point totals change, I have to assume that
is is some kind of enchantment. Everytime a teacher, add or subtracts
points, the point board automatically update. In the incident where
they took Norbert the dragon up to the tower and got caught, the lost
50 points each. First thing the next morning, the point boards
(hourglasses) we already updated. I don't think McGonagall stayed up
late that night, just to change the point board. 

So my best guess is that it is all automatic.
