Quidditch: Analysis was correct!

Someone recently wrote an analysis of JKR's treatment of Quidditch 
(or maybe it wasn't recently but I read it in one of the Recommended 
post databases), in which they theorize that JKR really hates 
writing Quidditch matches, and so frequently comes up with excuses 
for having Harry miss the games.

Turns out they were right!

>From the Mugglenet interview, part 2:

"To be honest with you, Quidditch matches have been the bane of my 
life in the Harry Potter books. They are necessary in that people 
expect Harry to play Quidditch, but there is a limit to how many 
ways you can have them play Quidditch together and for something new 
to happen."

(She also informs us that Peter was "a better wizard than [his 
friends] knew" which explains why he was able to AK Cedric.)
