fairness of Quiddich (WAS: Is the anything that bothers you about HP ...)

Lynn:

Basketball has standard equipment with the exception of the shoes.  
Are you going to tell the players they all have to wear the same type 
of sneaker since one brand may be better for one athlete over 
another?  I certainly have a preference for which sneaker I prefer 
and think I do much better with that brand than another just due to 
the comfort factor.  

Me: The problem is that Quidditch is *not* basketball.  One pair of 
sneakers is like any other, really.  It might make a 1% difference in 
your game.  A top-of-the-line Firebolt has FAR superior performance, 
compared to the shoddy school brooms.

It is like a Formula One car race, with rich drivers in the latest 
high-tech racing cars, competing against ordinary drivers in rusted-
out beaters.

Quidditch may be enjoyable to watch, but it is simply not a fair test 
of skill.
