Diana:

>>It took the team three years to win not because they were a bad 
team.  The first year (Harry's first) Harry was not able to play 
because of the whole Stone issue.  The second year Quidditich was 
cancelled because of the Monster of Slytherin.<<   

Carol:
 
>Harry does play during his first year (Quirrell puts a curse on his
broom, remember?) and the second year darling Dobby puts a spell on
the rogue bludger so Harry will be injured and sent home.<

KathyK:

I don't think Diana was saying that Harry didn't play *at all* but 
the reason it took Gryffindor three years to win the Quidditch Cup 
once Harry assumed the Seeker position was because of other reasons 
than the Gryffinodor team not being any good.

In PS/SS, Gryffindor failed to win the Quidditch Cup because they 
were short a player for the last match as Harry was unconscious from 
his encounter with Quirrelmort.  

In CoS, after Hermione and Penelope Clearwater were petrified 
McGonagall postponed all Quidditch, and the teams were unable to 
finish the year.  Gryffindor again could not win the Quidditch Cup 
owing to circumstances unrelated to their talent and skills.
