My guess is that the Gryffindor victory in PoA is the "Happy Ending" to
the Quidditch saga and that JKR will find a way to keep the house tournaments
from taking place for the rest of the series.  (V's new Reign of Terror 
will probably
be the excuse.)

Yes, when *are* non-Quidditch players allowed to have brooms of their
own?  We've never seen Hermione on one at all.  (Of course, she'll probably
learn to apparate in order to get 256% on her OWL exams, and then some
emergency will crop up where she *has* to travel by broom, and she'll need
Harry to be her "designated driver".)
