Fred and George are gone, and >Angelina, Alicia, and Katie just graduated.  So, if Ginny is a Chaser, maybe Harry will get to know her >better (good point for H/G shippers, anyway). 

    Well, I can't get the website to let me look at the posts, and I'm on digest, so this may have been answered already. But I think there's been speculation as to whether Katie *is* actually leaving Hogwarts in book 5. Ginny only mentions that Alicia and Angelina are leaving, she doesn't mention Katie. Of course, it's been mentioned that Katie wasn't new to the team when Harry first began, so she had to be older or she would have been a first year player, which we know hasn't happened in 100 years... but that was explained away by her being a reserve. Does that make sense? :)
    Also, I don't know if I'm the only one, but I'm not going to assume that Harry is going to be the Quidditch captain next year. Yes, he was unfairly banned by Umbridge, but he still is not a member of the team at this point. Of course he won't have to try out, but I don't think that we can automatically assume Harry will be captain, especially using the argument that he's the only member from the old team- unless you mean the team with Angelina, the twins, etc. on it- because as it is now, Ron is on the team, Ginny, Jack Sloper, and... let's see... there's another one who replaced one of the twins, right? Anyway, I'm hoping Ron will be captain. It would fit so nicely with what he saw in the Mirror. Ooh, wait... he just saw that he was head boy and holding the Quidditch cup, not Captain?.... Ron is my favorite character, and I wish he would get a little more serious time. And I sincerely hope that the fact that he's more in the background than Hermione means he's not long for this world. I just wish she wouldn't paint him as such a dolt sometimes... but then again, it seems like I always have greater affection for the sidekick than the main character... I care much more for Samwise than Frodo, too.
