Some people at Hogwarts would agree that Quidditch was indeed a foolish game to get into. "I was! I spent a large amount of time in the hospital wing, but Madam Pomfrey wasn't so bad when you got used to her. And we have faster healing methods than Muggles for most injuries, from what I gather. They just tend to be more disastrous if used improperly."

Muggles who broke bones were in casts for weeks and weeks? That was so strange to him, Madam Pomfrey could heal them in a minute.

"That's because the object the Seekers caught was originally a small bird, the Golden Snidget. Wizards took more and more Snidgets as Quidditch became popular, endangering their future as a species. Eventually, the use of Snidgets in Quidditch was outlawed and we had to find a new way to play. That was when a skilled metalworker invented the Snitch. It's identical to a Snidget in every way, except of course that it's not alive."

He's read far too many books about the subject, clearly.
