What's the point of lighting a shot on fire?

Style.
It does nothing to the drink.
It's a bar/party trick, nothing more. Many flaming shots have just a few milimeters of 151 poured slowly on the top so they can burn for 10 seconds or so before you blow them out to drink.

Sorry dude, all you're doing when the 151 burns for 5 seconds is burning off some of the almost pure alcohol. The only difference in the shot you're going to notice is mental, like how the way a food item is packaged makes you think it tastes better (assuming the exact same food in 2 different packaging ways).

Whoever told you that it makes the drink taste different was just messing with you.

I used to take Flamin' Mamin's all the time (flaming shot of 151 dropped into a glass of beer). I'd always thought the heat made the 151 rise to the top of the beer so you drank that down first followed by the beer. Made for one helluva triple shot.
 
That is so damn funny.

The first time I took a Zambuca glass on fire I was taught to put my hand over the glass to put the flame out and then drink the alcohol warm.

So I hesitate, miss, break the glass, set the bar on fire, burn my hand, and as the liquor was pouring down the bar there was literally a waterfall of fire. Was painfull, embaressing, but everyone loved it.

I didn't want to but they made me take another drink until I got it right. I have a semi circle scar on the palm of my hand from it still and it's been 12 years since then.

pics of scar or shens.
 
It's a semicircle that's badly faded. I have to take a hot shower to even see it anymore.

It's a bar accident, not a car accident. What kind of scar were you expecting?!
