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.

If anything that just tells us that he has always been talented on a broom.

Totally forgot about that, thanks! I kind of like that it implies that he has a natural talent with the broom.

I'm often hesitant to dismiss skills which can be acquired through practice and persistence as "natural talent", but in this case, that could be a valid interpretation as well.
