bboy_mn:
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.

Me:
You missed /my/ point, too. ;) I wasn't talking about Harry /wanting/ to play Seeker. It's a poor move from the sporting side of it, as well. Harry's just /too good/. I very much doubt, from an authorship point of view, that his options are going to be limited to those people you've named. I would bet we'll either be introduced to some people next year (as it'd be a poor move from the writer perspective to introduce new people for players in the sixth book) or there won't /be/ any Quidditch which, considering the rise of Voldemort, isn't all that unlikely.

Besides the fact that I laugh at the idea of Colin (or Dennis, for that matter) handling himself as a Seeker when they are the most injured players in the game.
