that JKR would have a girl commentator in the next book.  Let's see,
how about Luna Lovegood.  She'd surely calm the masses.  I don't see
that the Slytherine/Gryffindor rivalry will let up, and she is a
Ravenclaw, therefore a little impartial.  I've always had a suspicion
that there's a quirky sense of humor in her somewhere too.  Maybe
she's just what Hogwart's needs now.  Remember the Sorting Hat's
warning to ban together.  Or, if you've a taste for drama--what about
Pansy Parkinson?  Since there are no girls on Slytherine's team, she
be their token female.  Oh, boy, this could really galvanize
Hermione's ethusiasm for Quidditch.  I could imagine some real action
from this choice.  Finally, maybe one of the Patil twins.  They're
both pretty even personalities and probably wouldn't offend anybody. 
Gee, my imagination's going wild!  Can't wait to find out.

Me:
I agree it ought to be a girl, and in the interests of house fairness
(yeah, right) a non-Gryffindor. My vote goes to Pansy Parkinson.

"And Ginny Weasley takes the quaffle...nice flying there, pity the
robes clash with her hair...Is that the Snitch? Yes! Malfoy dives, but
Potter's after him. It's Malfoy in the lead. Malfoy...Malfoy...can he
hold on? Yes, Malfoy, yes, yes, yes, YES!!!! Slytherin scores."
