Gryffindor Quidditch Team

  Greetings!

  Has anybody noticed the inconsistencies in JKR books
concerning the Gryffindor Quidditch team? It definitely
looks like the team has no reserve players. Only in Book 1
does Rowling say a word about Alicia Spinnet being an
ex-reserve player - and that's all. Throughout books 1-4
there are no reserve players training for GryQuiT, though in
Book 4 there are no trainings at all.

  It seems that after Harry appearance Oliver has forgotten
about "younger generation" completely. There are no
mentionings about young Quidditch players - does that mean
there are no talents in Gryffindor during years 1991-1993?

  What will happen to the Team if one of the players will be
unable to play? We have seen in SS/PS and CS that there is
no reserve Seeker in the team. But why? Isn't _any_ Seeker
better than no Seeker at all? After all, they could take
Neville... :)

  Who will be the new Team captain now that Wood has
finished his education? And, most of all, who will be the
new Defender?

  Are there any ideas? Bits of data? Useful hints from JKR
interviews?

Sincerely yours,
Alexander Lomski,
(Gryffindor/Slytherin crossbreed),
who actually believes Harry is the heir of Gryffindor,
Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff _simultaneously_... ;)
