Chewie now:
  Do you not think that if the points in the end of term feast, 
awarded to the Gryfs., were given out prior to the end of term that 
some teacher *caugh- SNAPE -caugh* would have found a way to take 
them away again? Come on, we have all been reading the same books 
and the above seems like a no-brainer to me.
Sorry if this seems harsh, but come on...please.  They had to be 
awarded at the very end.  It was not a slight to the Slytherins, it 
was a jab at Snape. Imo of course.  It has nothing to do with the 
points being awarded fairly throughout the year or not.  They may 
have been, or may not.  It does not matter.
