You make a very interesting point.  The book is full of important 
characters, but there's a lack of "supporting" characters now that it 
comes to the Quidditch team. We only know of 3 people who are 
actually interested in Quidditch: Seamus, Dean, and Ron.  I haven't 
heard anything about the Creevey brothers being interested, but then 
again Harry is always trying to avoid them.  It would be VERY 
interesting to see Hermione in the Quidditch team.  Imagine, as the 
team are looking for players for the Reserve team, Hermione for one 
reason or another gets on a broomstick and flies showing off her 
flying abilities or perhaps sees a quaffle coming at her and she 
catches it and throws it back in the blink of an eye.

Do you know what this also means?  JKR *HAS* to introduce new 
characters, even if they are going to have minute lines like 
Angelina, Katie, and Alicia.
