Betsy:
Has Slytherin lost to anyone, other than Gryffindor, since Draco's 
been Seeker?  I don't recall that they ever have - though I'll admit 
I don't have the stats down pat.  But Harry does take him seriously 
as an opponent.  And I believe that Slytherin has won the Quidditch 
cup every year except when Gryffindor won in PoA.  (Which, funnily 
enough, was won not because Harry was the better player, but because 
he had the better broom.)

 
Arynn:
I'm re reading PoA and in it there is this line: "Ravenclaw played Slytherin a week after start of term. Slytherin won, though narrowly." I also remeber reading somewhere that Slytherin did loose to Ravenclaw once, but I don't recall where. So either Ravenclaw was about 140 pts. ahead when Draco caught the snitch, or Slytherin was 160 pts. ahead and Cho caught the snitch. Assuming "narrowly" means that one goal either way would have changed it.
 
I find it funny though, that you claim that Gryffindor's defeats over Slytherin are (sometimes) due to Harry's superior broom, but you never claim that Slytherin's defeat of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff are due to Draco's superior broom. And, not only is Draco's broom better than the rest of the school's (except Harry's) but the whole slytherin team has better brooms. So it would seem logical that they would be expected to win more often. That seems more unfair than having one player on a team with a better broom.
 
Also remember that one player does not a team make, a seeker can only win the team 150 pts or 0. A chaser can win her team anywhere from 0 to a googleplex, so if you are your teams seeker you either caught the snitch, or had no effect on the outcome of the game whatsoever.
 
more one draco: He and Pansy P. did sabotage Hagird's class when Umbridge was present, starting on page 446 in OotP.
