Carolyn:
Don't know if it's relevant, but Bella, at least, got awarded a cup 
for something whilst she was at school, if you look at the fan site 
section of JKR's site. 

And Tom Riddle got two awards when he was at school. We know what one 
of those was for (supposedly catching Hagrid opening the Chamber of 
Secrets), but we don't know about the other one.

I was going to say that Hogwarts would only award cups and medals for 
genuinely outstanding performance, but Tom managed to dupe Armando 
Dippet in order to receive his shield, although DD suspected him at 
the time. There have probably been other, ahem, 'fudges'...

Anyone familiar with the mindless football violence in the UK could 
also readily understand a tradition of Quidditch team supporters and 
players beating each other up. It's just the sort of thing Voldemort 
might encourage amongst his DE's.
