Iggy:
If he was a chaser, then why did the plaque in the movie say he was a
seeker?

Taryn:
Silly sentimental creative lisence. It created more of a connection between Harry and his father.

Iggy:
And why was he shown in OotP playing with the snitch the way he was?

Taryn:
To show off. How is he supposed to do that with a Quaffle? It's rather large and unwieldy. He's showing off he has good reflexes, even if he doesn't want to play Seeker. (It seems like he COULD play Seeker, but there's no reason he couldn't just prefer the Chaser position.)

Iggy:
And, while I don't have the books at hand right now, wasn't he mentioned in
the books as a seeker a couple of times?

Taryn:
Nope.
