What's the purpose of the golden snitch?

D. Grayman 7! did a pretty half-hearted job at squeezing sympathy out for little Allen Walker. *spoilers* So Allen's adoptive father, Mana, dies, little Allen meets the Earl, his father becomes an Akuma and Allen's arm saves him. It seems a little odd that the Earl didn't try to kill Allen when he had the chance. The Earl doesn't really do anything but laugh like an old pervert. Any real agenda with him? Also, there was no real elaboration on Allen's relationship with Mana. Does Mana say 'keep walking' because he is a 'Walker'...haha, lame. And do we ever get to why the show is called 'D. Grayman'? Moving on, Lenalee's boots are pretty cool if not the only reason to throw in panty-shots, but the actual action was pretty low-quality. This is a so-so anime that I keep comparing to Hagaren. If the gore level was upped a little and the visual detail was more defined, at least the eye-candy part of the entertainment would be satisfying. I think I may knock it off my list pretty soon.
