Observation

[author_by_night]

Was re-reading PoA, one of the Quidditch scenes (the last tournament). I noticed something.


When Alicia is nearly knocked off her broom:

Jordan: Don't do that!


Hooch: That was wrong! Penalty!

McG: *Doesn't say anything*

When the twins throw bludgers at the Slytherin players:


Jordan: Woohoo!

Hooch: That was wrong! Penalty!

McG: *Silent*

Draco pulls on Harry's broom:

Jordan: DIE, DRACO MALFOY! YOU OUGHT TO DIE!

Hooch: *In shock*

McG: YOU HORRIBLE HUMAN BEING, I CAN'T BELIEVE I GAVE YOU 100% ON THAT ESSAY!

Favortism, anyone? ^^

Maybe it was just the point in the game. I know when I go to sports matches, I can start off doing no more than scowling when the ref gives a penalty to the other team, but by the end, winning or losing, I'll be screaming blue murder. Perhaps the cumulative effects of the entire game are what had McGonagall so worked up.
