In the back row, sirvoddmort and yekke2 are vociferously debating the advantages of a faster broom vs. a more maneuverable broom.
As a relative newcomer, I’m not sure I feel qualified to add to this post. Plus, I am concerned that I may just be speaking a different language.
I would just like to register my protest at ScaredDD for typecasting me as being only occupied in matters of the intercontinental divide and getting one up on the colonial commoners 🙁 (and now I’ve been forced into using an emoticon, which I detest on principle).
If I must have a role in this escapade, please let it be more in the role PAA cast me in, as above, as a self confessed HP nut. And, whilst on the subject, closer examination of the books would reveal that Harry almost always comes from behind the opposing seeker to claim the snitch, meaning that having a faster broom is almost always a bigger advantage, much like in American Football, were speed is prized over technical prowess.
