It's Fudge who says "If only we had"--and that's in reference to sending Ministry agents 
after Sirius. McGonagall is full of regret for having been "sharp" with Peter... for not having 
been as talented as Sirius and James. I imagine it's the same regret that she's been feeling, 
old softy that she is, for harping on Neville. The difference is that Neville is actually quite 
brave. Peter's weak. How the hell did he get sorted into Gryffindor? (Then again, he's 
neither ambitious, clever nor loyal, so one must imagine the Sorting Hat sitting atop his 
head saying, "Oh, dear. Now where in the heck do I place you?")

The award was given to Tom for "special services to the school"--for "capturing" Hagrid. 
Ironically, it's the same award that Harry and Ron get for their "secret" rescue of Ginny.
