Thats Claire, she doesn't play quidditch and isn't name checked in the
book as she is extremly modest and retiring. Roger has been Ravenclaws
Quiddtich captain for a while now, in fact I think he may be a little slow
as he seems to have been held back a year, I thought he should have left
last year, maybe hes doing Newt re-sits.
As for quidditch ONLY being a unicycle and broom stick game, at least one
Uk school claim to have played it on foot, not sure of the intimate
details tho. There is another game that is played on unis and brooms
however, gladiators as its known to muggles is a direct equiviant to
shuntbumps.

I've only read the kids cover copy, but I've read it twice before I handed
it back to the liabary. The sorting hat put me in Ravenclaw, I've not
tried out for the quidditch team, too busy refereeing.
Hope that helps clarify nothing much.
