Sep 22, 2016 at 9:45 comment added Daniel Loughran I found your question a bit confusing at first read. What you have called the "degree" $\mathrm{deg}(x)$ of a closed point is usually called the "norm" $\mathrm{N}(x)$ (Serre follows this convention in his books). The degree $\mathrm{deg}(x)$ is normally instead defined to be the degree of the residue field of $x$ over its prime subfield (again, this is the convention from Serre's books). If the prime subfield is the finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$, then we have the relation $\mathrm{N}(x) = p^{\mathrm{deg}(x)}$.
