What is the significance of the Gryffindor Quidditch team being co-ed?
We know the Slytherin team is not co-ed at this time.
Why does Angelina Johnson have to remind Oliver Wood “and women?” Why couldn’t J.K. Rowling have just had Oliver Wood included women in the first place?
Angelina Johnson has not been, at this point, explicitly stated to be a person of color.
How does the intersectionality of race and gender in the Hogwarts quidditch world play a part in the larger story?
Do you think any disabled students play quidditch?

During the quidditch game, Lee Jordan refers to Angelina Johnson as an excellent Chaser, and rather attractive, too.
Points for referring to Angelina’s athletic ability first, but why did J.K. Rowling have to include the objectification of her here as well?
