Lynn:

It's funny, but I never even considered that
Harry would be captain this year.  For some
reason, Angelina seems to be the logical choice
for that.  Though, even with all their fooling
around, even one of the Weasley twins would make
more sense than Harry.

Nor do I think Harry would want to be captain
this year but would rather one of the older kids
on the team take that position.  I'm not sure if
he is yet comfortable to be in a position of
telling the others what they have to do.

ME:  I can't buy the idea of Harry as Captain at all.  I think some other considerations or responsibilities or something will keep Harry off the team entirely.  If he was the "captain", then he would also still be the seeker!  Just because he takes over as captain wouldn't mean he'd play Wood's old position.  The seeker is still the most important position and he'd still be the best one to play it.  There HAS to be another reason why Ron is seeker this year. But I'm certain of one thing. If Ron is the seeker then Harry isn't playing this year at all and of course that in itself would really tear him up.  Huggs Becky
