I agree with this in theory, except that Charlie played as Seeker.  I
think the situation where one team wins the game, even though the other
team's seeker caught the snitch, would be an anomaly (the World Cup
being won by Ireland despite the snitch being caught by the Bulgarian
seeker seems to be an oddity to the wizarding world).  It wouldn't be so
common that an average team with a superstar seeker would lose season
after season I wouldn't think.  And, how do you get to be regarded as a
superstar seeker if you never catch the snitch?  And, if you *do* catch
the snitch, 9 times out of 10, your team wins the game, right?
