ixchelmala:
I believe you are drawing the exact parallels of what will be revealed 
more blatantly in the coming books. Ron getting the position as Keeper 
is one of the most blatant signs of this, though his job is to block 
the Quaffle from scoring points, it's a job no one else can do save the 
person who plays Keeper.

I know they are samplings that show this in the previous books, and 
that I will have to research and document it.

Thank you for reading though all of the bits we've presented as well as 
the threads, it's taken me a heck of a time to get to your response and 
I'm happy to see input from those like you who are in the know of 
chess.
