I’ll just note that the presence of the Snitch in Quidditch has historically survived a match that took 3 months because nobody could catch the damned thing.
With professional players, whose job it was to play Quidditch.
It won’t survive children doing the same. More to the point, the snakes and ravens are deliberately and obviously exploiting the current rules, which will trigger all sorts of fair play instincts.
Although the easier solution to this problem is to stop adding Quidditch points to House points. That’s dumb to begin with. Maybe just add some points for winning the match.
