Whither Gryffindor Quidditch?

No: HPFGUIDX 4866

What's going to happen with the Gryffindor Quidditch team now that 
Wood is gone? There seems to be no provision for training new players 
or even building a little depth to the team's bench. In fact, there 
apparently IS no bench, since when Harry was in the hospital wing, 
the Gryffindors had to play a person short. So what happens now?

The past year was a wash, since there was no Quidditch. That means no 
one has been training. Wood is gone, so this coming year someone else 
will have to be the captain. I can't imagine that it will be either 
of the twins, so probably Alicia, Katie, or Angelina. And the team 
will need a new Keeper, of course. Someone mentioned that Ron would 
make a good Keeper. I second that motion (and I think Ron deserves a 
shot at some personl glory). As for brooms, where did Harry get HIS 
first broom? It just turned up at breakfast one day. So let 
McGonagall or whomever buy Ron a nice broom too. 

Strange way to run a sports team, though...Everyone's totally 
invested in Quidditch, but they don't invest in creating a real 
team...
