I don't think anybody was really paying attention at the moment; 
there was pandemonium in the room from which Harry & Bellatrix left.  
I don't think anyone with the exception of Neville, Remus, & 
Dumbledore truly noticed that Harry'd ran after Bellatrix.

Gryffindor had "a respectable amount" of points.  Wait, that didn't

Okay, I'm gonna risk my neck here:  I felt like the book seemed a
