Ginny is going to be Gryffindor Quidditch captain not Ron.  She is a 
far superior player. Ron's good, but I got the impression Ginny was 
very good.   Even Harry was impressed by her and you can't say he 
thought the same about Ron, even though he supported his friend.   
The boys were surprised by her only because she had never shown her 
like for the game before, in fear of being beaten up by her brothers 
for using their brooms.  And you can't deny she's a good leader, 
listener and motivator who won't back down for anyone.  True captain 
material.

The fact that she is younger than Ron doesn't matter; Oliver Wood 
was captain in his 5th year, right?  In PoA, Wood was in 7th year as 
it was his last chance to get the cup before he graduated. So that 
would put him in his 5th year in PS/SS when he put Harry on the team 
as Seeker.  Ginny is about to start her 5th year, so unless there is 
a rule that says you have to have been on the team for a certain 
number of years before being eligible for captain,(which would count 
Ron out as well) I could very easily see Ginny as the Gryffindor 
Quidditch Captain. 

It would be interesting to see how Ron deals with that!  Or even 
Harry for that matter.  

Rock on Ginny!
