I've always thought that 150 points was excessive, although as a teacher, it's something I'd be likely to do.  Already upset about rule breaking (by her own students, no less), and then one of them catches an attitude.  Of sorts.  I maintain to this day that if any one of Malfoy and co. would've opened their mouths with a "fifty?" when they were dressed up as dementors, she'd have taken 50 each from them too.  Though on the same teacher kick, I have issues with the whole point system in general.

Moving right along:

Fleur.  I can't stand her.  I don't know why.  I just plain can't stand her.
