Magpie:

Here I started responding to everything only to realize that this is more 
about Harry's talent, so I'll gladly withdraw the term "run for his money," 
which I was using lightly.  Nobody beats Harry.  Harry is a wonderous flier 
from the moment he gets on a broom etc. etc. I'm the first to admit that 
Harry is never in danger of actually losing any competition as long as he's 
conscious in canon.  It's definitely something I've remarked upon myself.:-)

My point was just that Draco seems accepted in canon as a perfectly 
legitimate Quidditch player with no rumblings of people wondering why he's 
on his team, which we occasionally hear for other people.
