blpurdom:"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."

We have to believe that Harry knows more about Cho than JKR has 
revealed to us. You said it: JKR doesn't report them having any kind 
of extended conversation. But that doesn't mean they didn't have 
enough snippets to have at least some interest.  If the books reported 
everything that went on in Harr's life, they'd be thousands of pages 
and unreadable.

I don't think it's possible to say Harry/Cho wouldn't go anywhere, 
precisely because we don't know much about her. I think you have to be 
neutral.
