Professor McGonagall gave twenty points to Gryffindor for the courageous rescue, though took five off her own House again, and five off Slytherin, due to Harry and Theo’s "recklessness" in not telling a teacher what they were doing. Professor Snape countered with ten points to Slytherin for Theo’s well-executed distraction of the troll to preserve his and Potter’s life, even though it had been regrettably mistargeted on Hermione’s location. And no-one bothered to cast any spells to check on what anyone’s wand had cast, or any on the troll’s body, much to the Slytherins’ quiet relief.
