Yeah, but if she really had a crush on Ron (whether she acknowledged it
or not), wouldn't he come up alot in her conversations?  Harry himself
is amazed because Krum regards him as a genuine rival (he's thinking to
himself, I'm just this skinny 14 yr old kid and you're an international
quidditch star).  In contrast, I have zero impression that Krum regards
Ron as a rival in any form.

I have never heard any evidence that Harry likes Hermione.  I have
none.  H/H is something I think would happen in the future ... but I
think R/H is doomed because I don't think Hermione has those feelings
for Ron.  I think it's Harry that she likes.

Well, it's still a square whether Harry likes Cho, someone else or no
one.  Isn't it?

What you're saying does make sense, but I don't think it's so much that
the teenagers are saying that Hermione belongs with Harry because he's
the hero & she's a heroine of sorts.  I think they're just saying that
they perceive that Hermione likes Harry.  As far as I know, none of them
are arguing that Harry likes Hermione back either.  Is this correct
Ebony?  Do the boys feel the same way the girls do?
