I previously would have agreed with you, but while my PC was in PC 
hospital this week, I fell under a compulsion to write a 
description of Cedric's funeral. While writing it, I realised that 
my character Mary Fawcett (from the fic I've been struggling with 
since forever) is both Cho's roommate and a neighbor of the Diggorys. 
So when I powered on the characters and they went around doing 
things that they hadn't been programmed to do .... Cho came to 
the funeral alone, not with parents, and ended up sitting with 
the Fawcetts, beside Mary Fawcett who was holding Cho's hand and so 
on in an attempt to provide emotional support and comfort. Mary 
recognizes Harry even tho' Harry doesn't recognize Mary, and when 
Harry, in response to a question, says that his parents died a 
long time ago, Mary decides that she has to feel sorry for him 
and try to comfort him, too. I can all too vividly see Mary 
spending the summer owling Harry to come to her house and bring 
Ron so they and she and Cho can play two-on-two Quidditch, 
boys against girls, or that Harry and Ron should come over so they 
can all go see one of those Muggle things called movies that Cho 
has told her about....
