Well, I know I wouldn't be surprised by anyone who is already on the 
Quidditch team.  Fred, Angelina, Harry, any of them would not be 
terribly shocking.  Yet it seems weird that someone who wasn't on it 
before could become captain.  I wonder if we just don't know what the 
surrounding circumstances will be, so someone who we either don't 
know, or we just would never think of, could become Captain and it 
would seem perfectly reasonable in the new context.  Hmm... I have a 
friend who thinks Ron will be on the Quidditch team next year, but 
that personally doesn't feel right to me, although I can't define 
why.  Really, though, who could it be?!  Who would really surprise me 
as captain - Hagrid, Dobby, McGonagall... but those would surprise me 
because they would make no sense!  So, in conclusion, I don't know, 
but I am awfully, awfully curious.

JKR is breaking my heart by not publishing this book yet...
