CHAPTER DISCUSSION PS/SS 10, THE HALLOWEEN

Pippin:
(snip)
Evidently Flitwick didn't think that letting Harry play would give
Gryffindor an unfair advantage over Ravenclaw. What Snape thought we don't
know, but we do know that in CoS he doesn't hesitate to pre-empt a scheduled
Gryffindor practice because Slytherin needed to train its new Seeker.


Jean:
However, Flitwick rarely interferes in anything Gryffindors do, even if it
affects Ravenclaws. Flitwick, in my opinion, showed no sign of concern over
Marietta Edgecombe in OOtP, even though it was quite possible Umbridge
gained her confession by torture, or undue pressure on her mother's job.
Just because Flitwick doesn't see a problem does not mean there isn't one
(also note he does nothing that I was able to see in canon to protect Luna
Lovegood from her own House mates). It is quite possible that in Snape's
case that he may feel the need to be aggressive because nobody else is over
what could appear to be overwhelming Gryffindor dominance. 
 
I have to admit that I agree that catching the Snitch often adds so many
points as to make the rest of the game irrelevant.
