Well, I think that Harry/Cho is mostly based on Cho's potential growth, more than what we actually know of her. But then you need reasons for the potential growth...

To start with, she's a Ravenclaw. This is already a plus, because it breaks free of the 'Gryffindors Forever!' rule - so far, all of the well-developped characters, with the exception of the Professors and other staff, and Draco Malfoy, have been Gryffs...

Then there are the qualities we see in her interactions, on the Quidditch field or off, with Harry. She has a good sense of Quidditch tactics - she knew that Harry had a better broom, but found a way to foil that which almost worked. She's sometimes his rival, and sometimes his ally, and is a good winner. To counterbalance that almost-voer-niceness, she also shows hints of a mischievous streak - she's grinning while she's bugging Harry during the match in PoA. 

Most of this is extrapolation, obviously, but I hope that helps (it probably didn't, though).
