Potioncat:
And McGonagall and Snape have a very strong rivalry going.  So I'm 
sure the two teams have been competitive with each other....no, I 
mean comparable to each other.  It could be that Slytherins had 
several good players who graduated just before Harry arrived.  Look 
at how bad the Gryffindors see their team as being in OoP.

McGonagall doesn't seem to manage her team, other than to help Wood 
find a seeker.  Perhaps Snape doesn't either.  You'd think he'd go 
for a different approach than brute force.  Could it be that the two 
teachers respect the student leadership model in this case?  Then 
again, maybe we just don't see the Gryffindor Team Captain meeting 
with McGonagall.

Potioncat who is the very worst person to be discussing sports!
