No you fucking can't. I know it happens twice in the books but it's such an absolutely convoluted thing. It's like when professionals will every now and then make careless mistakes. That doesn't make it a skill. If you're 160 points behind, don't grab it. That simple. The possibility that someone can drop a football by mistake before getting into the end zone is not some sort of strategy to plan around. No. It's something rare you hope for on the enemy team. If you catch the snitch, you win, because you wouldn't do it if you're behind by 160 or more points unless you made a very amateur mistake.
