    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?”

          DH10, in Lily’s letter to Sirius:

          Dear Padfoot,

          Thank you, thank you, for Harry’s birthday present! It was his favorite by far. One year old and already zooming along on a toy broomstick, he looked so pleased with himself, I’m enclosing a picture so you can see. You know it only rises about two feet off the ground, but he nearly killed the cat and he smashed a horrible vase Petunia sent me for Christmas (no complaints there). Of course, James thought it was so funny, says he’s going to be a great Quidditch player, but we’ve had to pack away all the ornaments and make sure we don’t take our eyes off him when he gets going.
