Both. 70% moral fibre, 30% prat.

Charms were very effective for the first task. Besides, I guess that for
Harry Potions=Snape and Herbology is something good for Neville (I can't
help the feeling that both Harry didn't respect Neville much before Harry
learnt about his parents). I am surprised, however, that Hermione did not
think of a Potion.

No, his reaction to the attack on Fat Lady (PoA) did. That was proper thing
to do - call the Headmaster first.

>4. What about Hermione & Krum's relationship?

I guess she's simply too young for him. She's certainly more "adult" than
Ron, but not enough.
