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!
