Known people who were awarded this

• Tom Marvolo Riddle: In June, 1942, He received such an award for his alleged capture of the student who had opened the Chamber of Secrets. Riddle's award was stored in the trophy room, and he was asked not to speak of the matter to anyone. Ron Weasley, while serving detention in the Trophy Room, vomited slugs all over Riddle's badge, and had to polish it several times. It's possible that the award was retracted after Harry and Ron determined the truth and exonerated Hagrid.
