JKR isn't trying to seem obvious, but it seems to me that in the real 
world, it would be very unfair to make Ron captain over Harry. But 
then again, Ron is a much better strategist than Harry (all those 
chess games), which the school is aware of ("Percy could be heard 
telling the other Prefects 'My brother, you know! My youngest 
brother! Got past McGonagall's giant chess set!'" - PS UK p/b p221), 
including McGonagall (as just stated), so perhaps she'll appoint him 
captain off that basis?<

While Harry is the obvious choice (of course he'll be reinstated and 
the lifelong ban lifted and all those ridiculous Educational Decrees 
thrown out) he has the most experience, seniority, showed leadership 
qualities teaching DA, etc.  I think Ginny would also make an 
excellent Quidditch Captain. She is used to diffusing arguements 
among her brothers, cool under pressure, etc. Ron while good at chess 
lacks confidence, he didn't do very well as prefect leaving asserting 
authority to Hermione (yes his brothers gave him a hard time but 
Ginny had no problem keeping them in line).  If it isn't Harry I hope 
it is Ginny!
