Lynn:

I got the impression not that Wood never looked
for reserves but rather that there wasn't anyone
with the talent available.  McGonagall and Wood
were very excited about finding Harry.  It seems
strange that if there were a lot of talented
players around McGonagall would have just
suggested Harry try out for the team, after all
tryouts were coming up.  Yet, she took Harry
straight to Wood and told him that she'd found a
Seeker.  Granted, first years didn't make the
House teams as a rule but I'm sure they still
could have tried out.

Also, we don't know that there weren't reserves
for the rest of the team, just that there wasn't
a reserve Seeker, which may well be the problem
position.
