Tammy:
I think that Quidditch is a huge stress reliever for the kids. I'd
imagine that Dumbledore would probably argue to keep Quidditch simply
because it provides a little bit of normalcy for the students during a
hectic and terrifying time. And if JKR ends up cancelling Quidditch,
I'd have to be more than a little disappointed that she didn't think
of it that way.
