Having the general impression that the Quidditch season was about marginal score - a single loss wasn't at all the end of the world - this somewhat confused him. After all, Quidditch matches (according to Ron) were routinely won by point margins in the hundreds. But for some unclear reason, everyone was acting like it was the worst thing in the world. Even Ron, with whom he had had an entire somewhat baffling and rather one-sided conversation about marginal score and the likelihood of winning the Cup, seemed annoyed about it! And meanwhile, Percy Weasley who had actually participated in the loss of the game, more than everyone else in the Cup really, had just been sitting in a corner with a big stack of books, aggressively not caring.
