She doesn't give out points very often. There was the time already
mentioned in PS, the 250 pts to Griffindor + 50 to Ravenclaw 
mentioned, the switching spells, which we don't have a number 
for, since it was "off-screen",and 10 points near the beginning of 
OoP to Hermione. 

Incidentally, Oop marks the first time Ravenclaw has ever been 
awarded points in the books. Hufflepuff hasn't won any yet, and
the only person who has ever given points that we know of to
Slytherin is Umbridge.

In the ongoing contest of "which professor can take the most points
from Griffindor", McGonagall is currently 12 points behind Snape. 
He gradually whittles away the points, while she tends to take
them in big chunks...
