I must admit that I'm confused by this. Why does everybody believe 
Ron is going to join the Quidditch team? There's no indication that 
he's ever really played, except up on the hill by the Burrow. Sure 
he's a big fan, but I see no indication that he can play. Why would 
he wait until 5th year to do it? He could have been a reserve or 
something before if he's a decent player. I would think that if JKR 
intended him to join the Quidditch team, we would have seen him play 
at least a little bit.
