4. What about Hermione & Krum's relationship?

I wouldn't be surprised if Krum comes back to Hogwarts next year.  He makes the comment at the end of GoF that he like it there and Dumbledore has opened the doors for any of them to come back.  He might make an interesting DADA teacher - they did learn them (the Dark Arts) at Durmstrang(sp?).  Krum coming back would create all sorts of issues for Harry, Ron and Hermione.  With Harry, it would be Quidditch - he'd be playing in front of a Quidditch player he admires.  With Hermione, Krum being at Hogwarts might give her relation Ron an added dimension.  With Ron, he'd have all sorts of problems - I don't think he ever truly resolved the fact that his idol was dating his er, friend.  

In GoF, the relationship between Hermione and Krum came across as Krum being the first boy who really paid attention to her.  I think she probably would go visit him over the summer and if he came back to Hogwarts (hmm, dating a teacher, I wonder if there are rules against that in the wizarding world<G>) they may date for a bit, but I think it would dissolve into a friendship.  Their relationship may just end up being the catalyst needed to prod Hermione into a relationship with one of her *other* friends<EG>  (and I'm stopping there).
