Now I might be absolutely wrong here and if so please feel free to
correct me.  I thought that the colors presented in the Great Hall are
those of the previous winner which for the past seven years or so has
been the Slyths.  I saw it more as a changing of the guard from last
year's winner to this year's winner.  It was a little rude to leave
the awarding of the points until the last minute but I thought this
was JKR making it more dramatic than Harry seeing they won and being
told that the Trio plus Neville were awarded some points. Of course
this is all my own opinion.
