Does anyone know whether in the House Cup competition houses start off the year with some points or no points? That is, are all the houses allotted say 100 points and thereafter points are added and subtracted, or do all the houses start off with zero points? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.82.166.195 (talk • contribs).
They start each year with 0 points which is evident in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince when Harry shows up late to the feast after being jinxed by Draco Malfoy and Professor Snape takes points away for being late and for being dressed in Muggle Clothes and says "I dont think any house has been negative this early before"
