Actually Dumbledore awarded Harry 60 points, not
50.  Gryffindor had 312 points and Slytherin had
472 points.

So, if no points had been lost by Harry,
Hermione, Neville and Draco over Norbert, and
Dumbledore hadn't awarded any points, Gryffindor
would have only had 462 points whereas Slytherin
would have had 492 points.  So, even with
awarding Neville 10 points, Slytherin would have
won by 20 points.
