Non-Quidditch players are NOT to answer the posted questions. If non-Quidditch team members answer questions, the assigned points will be deducted from that Team's total Match points. I would advise the House Captains to make this extremely clear in your House Common Rooms. There will be no exceptions. Out of position players may not answer a question not for their position. If they answer one then the assigned points will be deducted from their Team's total.
Everyone, please note highlighted passage. Our Quidditch rules already outline the penalty for a player answering out of position. Ozzy answered out of position. The penalty is therefore according to the above, the "assigned points" and in this case that is the first step towards the snitch. The ruling then is Gryffindor has the first step of three towards the snitch.
