It's not instawin, you can catch it and still lose

Can you though? Like the rules as presented in the books are just:

Snitch caught > get 1000pts > game ends

The only other way to get points is in intervals of what? 10? 25 maybe? Let's assume it's 25 because I can't remember. That means you need to be up 40 fucking goals in order to tie if the other team gets the snitch. And that's assuming your entire team doesn't die from exhaustion seeing as the game doesn't end until the snitch is caught lol

I don’t know why I remember that, but i think catching snitch was 150 points

It's definitely not 1000 because in one of the books a character catches it but the team still loose

100% she wrote that part in just because people kept asking "well, doesn't the team that catches it always win?" That is also why Neville knocks over a cupboard to destroy all time-travelling devices. I think she is either SUPER insecure or just not a very good writer.
