It'd work better if he only caught it once, like if it were a one in a million it'd balance better and represent the "hope against all odds" kinda device that i thought it was. But Harry catching the bloody thing every third game ruins it.

Iirc a game of quidditch doesn't end until the snitch is caught. I believe one game lasted months

Really, I thought they were timed or something? I thought catching the snitch ended the game, but was not the only thing that could end the game?

Adding also that canonically there have been games where the snitch is caught but that team still loses.
