They need to up the intelligence on the snitch. Make it so hard to catch that it hardly ever happens. Seekers now spend most of their time as normal players, while keeping an eye out for the snitch, then darting away every once in a while for a catch attempt
That was my take when watching the movies (never read the books). I figured the snitch was near to impossible but Harry just had main character syndrome, being able to actually see the snitch.
Yeah harry is just cracked at the game for no particular reason (never even flew before he went to Hogwarts)... they allude to some quidditch games lasting days, at which point 150 points isn't a big deal anymore.
Or so he thought. We later find out that Sirius sent him a toy practice broom for his first birthday. Harry could have had three months of practice at a very impressionable age, which could account for some of his "immediate talent" when he gets to Hogwarts.
"I road a tricycle for a handful of months when I was one years old and then moved to a country that outlawed bikes until I was 10. Of course I'm qualified for the men's varsity cycling team. Yes, I'm still ten. So what?"
When was this revealed?
DH10, in Lily's letter to Sirius:
If anything that just tells us that he has always been talented on a broom.
Totally forgot about that, thanks! I kind of like that it implies that he has a natural talent with the broom.
Yeah, the first book mentions that there have been matches that lasted days or even months.
