Harry/Cho is wrong

I won't even dignify the racist and homophobic comments on this topic 
with a real retort...

I think the only real problem with a Harry/Cho relationship (not 
race, not age) is the fact that he simply saw her from afar and was 
smitten.  He knows nothing about her, her personality, her likes and 
dislikes, what kind of student she is, nothing.  JKR doesn't even 
report them having a conversation of more than 30 seconds' duration 
before he asked her to the Yule Ball.  He might as well have a crush 
on a picture of a model in a magazine.

OTOH, she seemed like she might have been inclined to accept his 
invitation were it not for her already having accepted Cedric's.  But 
I'm guessing that that was for the same reason that a handful of 
girls Harry didn't even know asked him out; he is Harry Potter, he is 
one of the school champions, and wouldn't it be cool to go to the 
ball with HIM and make all your friends jealous?

Even if they ever "date" in the canon books, I don't see it going 
anywhere, and once again, Harry would have to worry about the Forces 
of Evil targetting her...He's just too nice to want that to happen.
