Eustace_Scrubb:
I'm not really sure Hogwarts will ever be back to normal, whatever
that is, at least until after the downfall of LV, but anyway, I share
your hope!

So, will Harry become the captain? Who decides? McGonagall? I hope
she doesn't take the same route that DD took with the prefects.
Harry would make an excellent Quidditch Captain, and I think he
can handle the responsibility.

Next, Hitomi:
Yup, McGonagall decides. And I agree, the only option that makes
sense, in my opinion, is Harry, though some have argued for Ron.
<snip reasoning>

Now, Eustace_Scrubb:
While Harry is the logical choice and sentimental favorite, as you
have argued, I wonder how Ron will take it.  After all, when he was
younger, being Quidditch captain was his heart's desire (just ask the
Mirror).  I'm sure that Ron would rationally tell himself that Harry
deserves to be Captain, for his experience, for his love of the game
and because of all Harry's been through.  But I wonder, has Ron
matured enough so that being Quidditch captain isn't as important to
him anymore?  As a result of Harry's elevation to Captain, might we
see a re-emergence of the jealousy that he has felt towards Harry in
earlier books?

(In the hypothetical case that either or both of the boys ever stand
in front of the Mirror of Erised again, will either or both see
something different than they did when they were 11?  I imagine so,
but who knows?)
