> > Whoa. Calling Harry a good flier is like calling Mozart a good musician. Harry is truly exceptional, capable enough as an absolute novice  to make a catch that Charlie Weasley, who could have played professionally,  couldn't have made. Harry gets to be the youngest House player in about a century, so the rule has been bent before, probably for the same reason, a truly rare talent.   Would you deny Mozart his own musical instrument and the opportunity to play in competition?

> No, it's like calling a good natural flier a good natural flier. Harry is not being trained to be a professional Quidditch player by Hogwarts. His personal skills are not much interest to anyone beyond the inter-house rivalry. They don't buy him a broom because he's supposed to be the Mozart of Quidditch.

And besides, shouldn't the Salieri of Quidditch be given the same opportunity? So that he wouldn't have the reason to complain on the unfairness and favouritism of the Higher Authority?
