Well, I have high confidence that Ron will be the next keeper. He's an
experienced flyer from a long line of excellent Quiditch players.

Personally, I would hate to be the Keeper. You leave every game, won
or lost, knowing that every point the other team scored, they scored
because of you with the exception of the Snitch points.

I think they are very foolish if they don't start training a reserve
team in the next book. It would be a disaster to wait until the
beginning of 6th year to start looking for new members. 

Assuming they do train a reserve team, I think Ron will demonstrate
that he is much better than Harry at devising play stategy, and
directing the effective training of the other members. So, I predict
that in book 6, it will be Ron who is the team captain, not Harry. I
really don't think that Captain is a job that Harry wants. He has too
many other things on his mind.

Just my opinion.
