“Oh no, I caught the snitch when we were 160 points behind” said no one ever except for that one time in the books and even then it just makes zero fucking sense.
Actually that happened twice, once at the world cup where it made zero sense and once at Hogwarts, where it did make sense, because even though Gryffindor lost catching the snitch kept them in the house cup which is based off point differential
It just leads to such utterly contrived scenarios where the winning team isn’t the one who catches the snitch. If it was something like 30 points and didn’t end the game and you could catch it multiple times it would be better I think. It would be interesting to see team compositions that vary. Maybe some teams forgo scoring with the quaffle and focus only on scoring with snitch catches.

The game doesn’t end until the snitch is caught.
In a league situation in the event of the same number of wins, the largest points difference comes first.
I.e. it is strategically useful to end a losing game as quickly as possible.
