ME:

I just finished reading PS again.  I came across Slytherin winning 
the House cup six years in a row.  No mention of them not winning 
since Charlie left.  Only mentioning is that Harry is a 'better' 
seeker.  I think he says something along those lines in POA though.

See why I needed input?  LOL
