I'm rereading GoF right now, and I have to point out that Hermione 
has quite a large role in the first half of the book, right up to the first
task. Remember that Ron isn't talking to Harry during a good portion
of the first half, and it is Hermoine who is by Harry's side helping him
figure out how to survive that first task. I'm not sure why she's in the
tent for that scene, but she makes more sense than Ron, if someone
else must be there. 

During my reread I also noticed that there was virtually no hint of R/H
until the Victor Krum asked Hermione to the Yule Ball, whereupon 
Ron got bent out of shape. Odd, that. (While the movie PoA provided
obvious hints of R/H, the book PoA provided less if any hint). From the
books, up until the Yule Ball I would have assumed H/H was the more
likely possibility, based on Hermoine's devotion to Harry in the first half
of GoF (along with her devotion to him throughout the books).
