Penny,
Didn't we learn about the Ravenclaws in CoS, during that "Harry is the Heir" bit?  (Or am I wrong--my CoS isn't near to hand!, and it was the Hufflepuffs?)

  Uh . . . puppy love, first crush & all that comes to mind immediately.
  If JKR's statement that all 3 main characters fell for the "wrong"
  people is to be believed, then Cho is Harry's Ms. Wrong.  I assume it's
  just as true in the wizarding world as in the muggle world that people
  rarely marry their first crush.

  I think she's largely served her purpose (as has Cedric) -- so I
  wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't figure much at all in the last 3
  books.  On the other hand, it's also possible that we'll learn more
  about Ravenclaw folks through Cho (which would be nice since we don't
  know any Ravenclaws really).  And, I don't discount the notion that she
  & Harry could develop a friendship in that sense.  I just think it's
  *highly* unlikely that there could be a plausible *romance* between
  Harry & Cho after the tragedy of GoF.
