Perfectly valid point, and I agree, but you missed my point. The
question isn't whether Harry wants to be a Seeker, the question is
whether he will be able to continue being Seaker when you consider the
potential players he has available to build a team out of.

The available people who have been named are Dean Thomas, Seamus
Finnigan, Neville Longbottom, Colin Creevey, and Dennis Creevey. I'm
not discounting female players, it's just that none of the named girls
have expressed an interest in Quidditch beyond watching it. Assuming
we have Harry and Ron, we need 5 more players. The vacant positions
will be 3 Chasers and 2 Beaters. I certainly don't see Colin and
Dennis as Beaters and only marginally as Chasers. But I could picture
Colin being a Seeker which would mean Harry would have to find a new
position.

So, I agree 100% that Harry want to be the Seeker, but will he be able
to given the people who are available to build a team from?

Just a thought.
