For me, it was definitely GoF.  Prior to that I hadn't even thought 
about it, apart from the obvious such as Ginny's crush on Harry, 
Harry's crush on Cho etc.  I also have to say that I fought against 
it in GoF, because, as you've probably gleaned by now, I do think 
that the evidence strongly indicates R/H and I was always more 
interested in H/H.   I've also always tried to avoid fan-written 
stories.  It's easy to get confused as to what's in the books and 
what isn't and they just add an extra dimension to the confusion.  
(But I do think some of Rita's are good - the only ones I've read).
