Jarkwang, Quadrature points and support points only coincide in special cases. In particular, this not true for Gauss quadrature of order fe_degree+1 and FE_Q elements.
When computing errors, you often want to avoid superconvergence effects and hence use a quadrature rule different from the one chosen for assembling system matrix and right-hand side. Have a look at the discussion in step-7 [1] for this.
