seeker. Harry is the Gryffindor seeker, Malfoy plays seeker for Slytherin, although his father had to buy him a place on the team.
Cho Chang. Cedric was seeker and captain of Hufflepuff, he was killed by Volde- sorry You Know Who in book 4. Oliver Wood was the Gryffindor captain and keeper from books 1-3 then he left Hogwarts. Marcus Flint was captain and chaser for Slytherin also in the first 3 books. In book 1 J.K Rowling mentions that Marcus Flint is a sixth year, but he is still around in book 3 does that mean he was kept down for a year or two? Cho Chang is the Ravenclaw seeker, but she isn't captain. Roger Davies is the Ravenclaw captain, very little is known about him. In book 5 Angelina Johnson is made Gryffindor Captain. Montague is made Slytherin Captain.
Percy. Percy Weasley was never on the Gryffindor team. Charlie was a seeker and Captain before Harry came to Hogwarts. Fred and George are beaters (they get banned in book 5) Ron is keeper (he replaced Oliver Wood in book 5) Ginny becomes seeker after Harry, Fred and George are banned.
Alicia, Angelina and Katie. Fred, George and Oliver are on the team, but they're not chasers. If Colin was on the team he'd probably spend more time following Harry than playing the game. Neville would probably forget what he had to do.
Derrick and Bole. Crabbe and Goyle don't play Quidditch in the first 4 books. The other Slytherin players are Flint, Pucey, Warrington, Montague (chasers) Bletchley (keeper) Higgs (seeker book 1 only) Malfoy (seeker book 2-?).
Silver Arrow. In book 3 Madam Hooch says it's a pity they stopped making them when she is admiring Harry's Firebolt
Nimbus 2000. Harry's Nimbus 2000 is destroyed by the Whomping Willow in book 3, Sirius Black buys him a Firebolt. The Weasley twins ride Cleansweep fives. Ron has a Shooting Star until book 5 when Mrs Weasley buys him a Cleansweep Eleven as a reward for becoming a Prefect.

middle of the 14th century. The idea for the Snitch came when its predecessor, the Golden Snidget, was hunted to near extinction for Quidditch purposes. The Snidget is now a protected species and the Snitch is used instead.
Modesty Rabnott. When she ran onto the pitch during a match and protested the use of the Snidget, the Chief of the Wizards' Council laughed and then proceeded to throw the bird's empty birdcage at her. Rabnott Summoned the bird to her hand, stuffed it down the front of her robes and ran it off the pitch!
the Hunter. Makes sense, seeing as how the Snitch was originally a live bird.
Gripping Charm. "Alone of the four Quidditch balls, the Quaffle was not originally enchanted, but merely a patched leather ball, often with a strap, as it had to be caught and thrown one-handed. Some old Quaffles have finger holes."
