Exactly. Look at the World Cup in GoF. It's made quite clear that 
Viktor Krum in an amazing Seeker. Ron is raving about how good he is 
before the match. He thoroughly embarrasses Ireland's Seeker with his 
Wronski Feint, and he's the one who catches the Snitch. Yet Ireland 
wins the match, and takes home the title. Viktor, for all his talent, 
is reduced to grabbing the snitch with his team down by 160 points, 
just to keep the game from being a humiliating blowout.

P.S. You forgot to mention that Gryffindor also has a pair of "human 
Bludgers" helping them along to victory. :p
