I totally agree, and this is one of the reasons why I think the Ron I'm 
writing in fanfic is OOC in certain ways.  He doesn't pay enough attention 
to detail in canon to be a tremendous Seeker.  But of course, all that could 
change.  Neither do I think Ron'll end up a filthy rich celeb icon married 
to a glamorous Hermione.  But I wasn't going for the reasonable 
extrapolation--I was being a cheeky genie, fulfilling the Erised dreams of 
an adolescent boy.  Proving Pippin's hypothesis--that although the Mirror of 
Erised shows us our deepest desires, what we desire most is not necessarily 
best for us.

I've also read fics in which Ginny's a really good Quidditch player.  Hmm...
