I have never commented on this subject even though it comes up repeatedly, 
basically because I don't have too much to say. However, the debate on the 
last minute points won't seem to die so I will throw in my 2 knuts. I never 
saw Dumbledore awarding points in such a dramatic fashion as a way to knock 
down the Slytherins. I saw it as a way to deeply impress upon the entire 
school the importance of waht Harry, Ron, and Hermione had done. 
He(dumbledore) knew that the war against Voldemort was not yet over, and the 
very children in that hall would probly have to make some decisions in the 
future and go through hardships because of Voldemort. If he had just given 
the points in private the impact would have been much less for not just the 
Slytherins, but the entire school.
