Now that I think about it, I'm 99% sure that the chasers are the same 
year as Fred and George - Book 5 will be their last year.  How weird 
will that be in Book 6 when Harry is the only one there from the 
original Quidditch team?

I like the idea of Hermione being on the team, although so far she 
doesn't seem terribly into it, at least not compared to fanatics like 
Harry and Ron.  (and she's awfully busy already...) But I think that 
Hermione would certainly be a surprise, and it would be very cool to 
see her on the team.  It would be kind of sad for Ron, perhaps, 
though, with both Harry and Hermione on the team and him still not 
doing anything he feels special about...  

I guess it might also make Ron feel bad if Ginny were on the team.  I 
think that would be very very cool, though, to see her on the team.  
It seems more likely to me then Hermione, since Hermione is so busy 
already with all her schoolwork.  To me, Hermione seems like a 
character we already know a whole lot about, and none of it has 
indicated and interest or a talent for Quidditch.  Ginny we know 
relatively nothing about, besides her run-in with Tom Riddle.  If she 
turned out to be a fabulous flyer, it would seem plausible that we 
were never aware of it before.  Or at least more plausible.  (well, 
whatever, I'm sure JKR will handle it just fine.)  But either 
Hermione or Ginny would seem sufficiently surprising to me.

Why not Ron on the team though?  There's no reason he wouldn't be, it 
just feels wrong in my gut.  (sorry I have no canon to back that up, 
it is merely instinct-based)

On the subject of Hermione being busy, do you think she will keep up 
SPEW, or some form of her work for house-elves?  It's not like at the 
end of GoF there was some sort of closing thing that ended the house-
elf issue for Hermione.  I wonder...
