Iggy here:

*laugh*  Ya know, I think you're right.  That's probably the way the
Creevy's would comment on the matches.

Personally, I still think that Luna Lovegood would be the best.

On the other hand, I just thought of someone who might actually have the
potential to make a great Quidditch commentator now that he's breaking
out of his shell.  Neville Longbottom.

Just as Harry is a natural at the game, now that Neville is going to
start blossoming and gaining self confidence, I think it would be cool
for us to find out that he's an amazingly adept color commentator.
Especially if Professor MacGonagall decides to nudge him along in that
confidence by assigning him the job, whether he asks for it or not.  I
can see the first game or two being a little awkward, but once he gets
the hang of it and gets into the mood of the matches... watch out!

It would also be a great plot device to help put Neville more into the
public view of his fellow students, just as Harry is.  It would begin
bringing them more and more on an equal level.

Any comments?
