What if Quidditch is an idea that overlays the entirety of the series?

I note that in the Voldemort wars, one of the key defenses is the use of a 
secret KEEPER -- and the goalie/chief defender position in the game is a 
keeper.

The seeker in the overall story is presumed to be, and probably is, Harry.  
But who knows?

It would be fun if at the end of the series a recap of all the action can be 
made to parallel the game.  JKR wouldn't have to hit us over the head with 
the comparisons.  The subtler the better?

I think this is a fabulous theory! There will need to be a corresponding seeker for the other team that perhaps we don't know about or recognize. The beaters could be analogous to the tricky slight-of-hand plot distractions. How appropriate for Fred and George to be the team beaters! Very cool theory, you're probably right.

I'm not completely comfortable with Pettigrew as the Snitch, since Harry let the Snitch go in GoF.
