•So, who won the House Championship?
We don't know. We *do* know that the Inquisitorial Squad managed to 
empty the points of all houses but Slytherin, and that McGonagall 
awards 240 points to Gryffindor at the end (which normally wouldn't 
be enough to win: in PS, Gryffindor needs 482 points to win. More 
points might have been awarded during the feast, which Harry doesn't 
attend, though.

Tom suggests:
Got two points on this one -

First, on OoP, Ch.38, pg.852 (US edition,) we learn from Snape that 
the *Gryffindor* hourglass is empty. We don't hear that any of the 
others are empty, unless I missed this point earlier in the text. 

Second, I realize that this is semantic, but technically, she didn't 
award them 240 points, she awarded Gryffindor 250, and then allowed 
Snape's ten to be subtracted from the total. Side note: fifty points 
are also added to Ravenclaw's hourglass, for Luna's participation in 
the jaunt over to DoM.

Handy FAQ!
