Quidditch and Social Structure thoughts

No: HPFGUIDX 20482

I was catching up with the messages I have missed being sick for the 
apst few days, and this caught my eye: 

>I noticed this too.  And at the Yule Ball, of the eight people who 
>are champions or dates thereof, six are Quidditch players.

Cedric knows Cho from playing Quidditch against her, same as Harry 
does.  Far as I know, most teenage kids will gravitate toward someone 
of the opposite sex who has something in common with them.

Krum didn't know anyone in Hogwarts. Fleur, if indeed he was 
interested in her, had apparently set her sights on Cedric then 
chosen someone else when Cedric chose Cho.   They don't say much 
about the other Durmstrang students, though we hear quite a bit about 
Parvati's "boy from Beauxbatons" [or was it Padma's?] 

Harry waited until the last minute, or would've asked Cho. See above 
re: Cedric.  Angelina was already going with one of the twins and was 
a good bit older than Harry atop that.

Is there anyone in Beauxbatons that does play Quidditch? I can't 
quite wrap my mind around the idea that they actually have a 
Quidditch following there.

Thoughts, anyone?
