THANK you.
I have always wondered this. I think any logical Quidditch coach would keep his keepers but turn his chasers into seekers. Or maybe make the snitch worth 20 or 30 points instead, and then you have a strategy situation on your hands where, if your team is more than 30 points behind, your seeker becomes a defensive player because he has to keep an eye on the snitch but he can't lay hands on it yet or he'll end the game and you'll lose. And at that point your chasers really have to get on the stick with the quaffle.
I think that would be better.

Well, here's the thing...
While the snitch is worth 150 points, it really only just ends the game. So, for instance, if 2 teams are playing and the one team has 500 points while the other team has 250 points and the team with 250 points catches the snitch they still don't win because they're only left with 400 points.
If this were to happen I'm sure the team with 250 points would try they're best to keep the snitch away from the other team to let their chasers gain some more points with the quaffle.
This would then turn the seeker of the losing team into a defensive player, as you said, trying to prevent the winning team's seeker from getting the snitch.
This would also force the winning team's seeker to search even harder for the snitch before the other team can catch up and have their seeker catch the snitch.
Wow... I'm such a nerd.
All true, however, my point is how often is a team going to be more than 150 points behind? I'm no quidditch expert, but I can't imagine that happens often. And if it is happening, then the team that's behind is being hopelessly outscored by the winning team and you're basically watching the Yankees play the Bad News Bears. Thus, I say either make the snitch worth less or turn your chasers into seekers.
And yes, you're a nerd. It's a wonderful thing to be.
