Maybe, maybe not.  I agree that Draco is a very good Seeker, based on 
his record.  However, to give the Firebolt this much credit for 
Harry's victory seems a tad insulting to Harry's talent.  What in this 
passage indicates that he couldn't have done this on a Nimbus 2000?

She was there for some privacy with Percy, whom Ron and Harry also run 
into there.

What about the sound of hooves in the latter?  Could be coincidence, 
but it seems so specific as to be prophetic. 

Mea culpa on referring people to a specific page of the Lexicon in my 
Britishisms post.  If you want to visit the Lexicon, and you do, 
believe me, go to the home page so Steve gets a hit:

Then make your way to whatever you're interested in.
