Well, i don't think Harry needs the responsibility of being Quidditch 
captain, we have seen that it takes a lot of work, having to organize 
trainings, recruiting, contacting everyone, etc. Harry is aware of this 
and, even if it takes him a moment of jealousy like right after Ron was 
made prefect, he will accept Ron or anyone else as captain. Even more, 
when he finally accepted that Ron deserved to be prefect, at the end of 
his reasoning he realized that Ron deserved it and that he was happy 
for his friend. I am sure it will not take him as long to feel the same 
way if Ron is made captain. Besides, as has been seen before Ron is 
great at strategy, and that would be a great asset as a captain, not 
just being longer in the team.

Regarding how busy harry is going to be, something else from the chat 
comes to my mind:

polly weasley: Will Harry fall for another girl in book six, or will he 
be too busy for romance?
  JK Rowling replies -> He'll be busy, but what's life without a little 
romance?

  Field: Regarding Harrys subconscious feelings, how has it changed from 
book 1 to book 5?
  JK Rowling replies -> Well he's obviously been through a lot since 
book one and book five was the book when he cracked up a little. In 
book six, the wizarding world is really at war again and he has to 
master his own feelings to make himself useful.

So i'm thinking, if he is going to be busy and he is going to have to 
master his own feelings to be useful, he is probably be doing something 
else besides classes, and something that will arise feelings he will 
have to master: either the feeling of sadness of all that has 
happenned, or feelings of hatred against Snape to continue with 
Occlumency. I am wondering if Occlumency will still be useful, and i am 
guessing that it will be. That brain contact with Voldy could be very 
dangerous, as well as useful if controlled. Or maybe Occlumency has 
nothing to do with it, and he will be busy with DA, or advanced DADA 
lessons from someone to prepare him for the war, or whatever. Any 
guesses?

So, in conclusion, Harry will be busy with 'whatever' besides the 
lessons, and he will not have so many issues accepting Ron (or someone 
else) as captain.

Maria, loving all the new possibilities
