Actually in my mind the logical choice would be whoever the senior member of
the team is.   Which wouldn't be Harry, not for another year or so.  How it
would be determined among the others who have been on the team the same
length of time is beyond me, though.  I would expect Harry to become
Quidditch captain the following year (book 6).  Which means at least to me
that it would be a surprise for him to be made Captain if most of the other
players are his seniors both in age and experience.  Am I making any sense
here?
