I'm not sure how Quirrell's last plot could still come to fruition. Slytherin have won the house cup and one of the professors awarding house points to Ravenclaw at this stage would feel like Quirrell's plotting had failed.

"For defeating the Dark Lord, we award Hermione...wait, what was the difference in score again?...four hundred and twenty points."

It's a fitting honour for the brave Professor Quirrell; no fair Slytherin would deny him this.

Especially since they'd still have the cup.

The Quidditch Cup, but not the House Cup.

Slytherin pulled ahead in both by scoring in Quidditch.

These bonus points would equalize them in the House cup. Both houses would have it.

I see what you mean. They get the Quidditch Cup outright (which is what I meant), but they share the House Cup, which is still having it (and that's what you meant).
