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.


Moi:

I don't think Hermione HAS any flying abilities.  Remember she didn't like being on Buckbeak's back, and have we ever seen her on a broomstick before?  Sure, it could happen, but flying doesn't seem to be her thing.

Who decides who will be quidditch captain?  I assume the heads of the houses.  If I were McGonagall, I'd probably make Harry captain thinking it might keep him out of trouble a bit.  If in their sixth year, the team is Harry (5 years experience), the new keeper (1 year experience) and a whole bunch of new players, I don't see how Harry isn't the new captain.  I think that's a bad thing as I don't think he's going to have time to be captain which would likely mean that he wouldn't be on the team at all.  But then, maybe I'm overreacting.
