I agree with you, Firebolt on the 'look out for Cho' thing - although 
I definately t hink she and Cedric were boy/girlfriend - theyw ere 
described as walking down the corridors holding hands, which is 
enough f a hint I think - I mean, If Hermione and Harry did that, 
we'd all be in hysterics!
But yes - I don't htink, if she is going to itnroduce love/hearache 
into Harry's life, that JK would pass up the opportunity of not 
allowing it to go smoothly!  

Do you think Cho will do the double-crossing, or will the fact hat 
Harry loves someone be taken advantage of [cho as hostage, this kind 
of thing?].  She does seem too nice to do something awful to him on 
purpose ...
