Agree - thought it EXTREMELY silly.
Just what you'd expert from a very female writer who isnt really
interested in sport.
I am a female who is very interested in sports and I think it does make
sense. It's just tradition: there is a reason for the 150. 150 galleons
were first offered for the one who would catch the Golden Snitched that
get itself in the middle of a game, IICR.

Umm, can you say that last sentence again, a different way, Dru? I'm
not quite following.

All right, sorry but you _need_ to understand that my grammar and orthography might not be at its best lately: I haven't sleep in 3 days... (and my classmates, a whole week). To be honest, even my talking sounds as though I was drunk. So, I copy the whole thing from Wiki:

As a nod to the sport of Snidget-hunting, which was also popular at the time, [Barberus] Bragge brought a Snidget to the game and released it from its cage. He told the players that 150 Galleons - then an enormous sum of money - would be awarded to the player who caught the bird. As the promise of such a large reward would suggest, the players thence totally ignored the game, and simply went off in pursuit of the Snidget, which was kept within the arena by the crowd using Repelling Charms.

That's the origin of the 150 points.
