Krum didn't interpret it that way.  <vbg>

I see your point.  I guess it depends on how Hermione handles those
situations, and we don't really know.  If she considers Viktor just a
friend & has decided to try & ignore his feelings for her, she might
talk up the boy she is interested in (I know I did that with male
buddies at that age -- they would just roll their eyes everytime my
current interest's name came up!).  If she's trying to distance herself
from Viktor's romantic interest, then B makes a good point that maybe
she's using "safe Harry" as a shield & keeping her feelings for Ron to
herself.  But, she could also be talking up her true love interest in an
attempt to convey an indirect message to Viktor (that's how he
interprets her actions -- we know that).
