Answering some messages I shorten them to much - sorry if I made my 
commenst not clear enough.

Some answers for darrin_burnett first:

I still think Dumbledore used "an eye for an eye" method rewarding 
Gryffs' Trio. As you said, darrin: "Because what I see is Dumbledore 
correcting an injustice and recognizing that some points are worth 
more than others" - yes, but still Headmaster does not follow the 
rules. It is not cristal. 

But. Some people are trying to enter new moral or ethic rule: "If 
you are right, no matter what the other rules are". Yes, most of rules are 
established to be broken, one can say. But. Still "BUT" - when you 
break the rule because you need it (steal some food to survive, kill 
in selfdefence) - that might be eventually be forgiven. But for 
pleasure? For fun? For reward? That is not what I could call "higher 
priority". Sorry, The Cup, even the biggest and the most wanted one 
is not worth for me to give a sample like Albus had. I cannot agree.

You cannot reward someone breaking those rules I mention all the 
time and - moreover - to hurt someone else. Be like a Slyth for a 
while. You are not lucky to get into trouble like Harry and his 
crowd. You work hard, sometimes even honestly ;) to make your 
infamous House win against everybody, because you were sorted into 
it - and suddenly an old freaky wizard is rewarding Harry for 
something he did (Beg your pardon - what in fact is the reason, what 
did he do? You were not noticed learning to your damn potion exams to 
get as many points as possible - sometimes Slyths might do things 
like this) - Harry broke rules. But he gets points. And his three 
friends too!

You do not need to be Slyth and lose The Cup to feel something 
unfair in the air. Try imagine Raveclaw and Hufflepuff, too.

Yes, yes, I know it was almost public news, what Harry actually did. 
And I do not deny them all their bravery and sacrificies. However 
there are different ways some School Rewards (do not know English 
name of it). I appreciate all action.

Perhaps I could appreciate it more if I could see that there are 
still people who do things right whether they are rewarded or not (I am 
still contious they did not expect anything! But wouldn't children 
reading Harry either???...)

Like Snape - sacrifying the Quiddich match. Quietly. No chance for 
even "thank you". Life debt? OK, but would you not say thank you 
afterwards? If you only knew. Nobody knew, neither will they probably 
(except of Harry and Quirrel - by the way should not Voldemort know 
more about Snape's actions than, being so close? Or did he not hear 
having his ears protected with too much textile??? - I am going to 
write it in a separate note, please do not comment yet ;) ).

My note that Harry had been suggested to become Slyth by Sorting Hat 
and your answer: "And he said, "HELL NO! I WON'T GO!" Harry made his 
choice and lo and behold, he found himself not in the house founded 
by a genocidal madman" - you are right. The point is - you can even 
be noble, it is not forbidden in Slytherin... as Snape was - paying 
his life-debts and protecting Harry.

How can you hurt a man who has nothing? 
Give him something broken.
