Actually JKR states in an interview that he was a chaser 
(http://www.hp-lexicon.org/james.html or 
http://www.scholastic.com/harrypotter/author/transcript2.htm)...in the SS 
the movie they made James a seeker, but he wasn't. The playing with the 
snitch bit was just for fun...just because he was a chaser doesn't mean he 
couldn't play seeker (look at Ginny who is moving from one position to the 
other). I, Fred Uloth, would equate this to me passing the American 
football around with my friends...one might assume that I was a quarter 
back or a receiver when in actuality I was an offensive tackle, In a game I 
only touched the ball when there was a fumble.
