I too think there's a lot to Viktor that hasn't been discussed.  I 
don't think he is just someone JKR added to get Ron jealous.  There 
is something to this guy.  Like you said, JKR keeps talking about his 
physical appearance.  Plus, there is more to the fact he can jump 
into freezing water.  It's not just because of the area he is from.  
He is different in some way.

When McGonagall first sees Harry fly she mentions she had never seen 
anyone fly like that.  Harry pretty much says the same thing when he 
sees Krum. Surely there is more to this then just a possible future 
Quidditch match between Harry and Krum. I personally believe there is 
a reason why Harry is a great flyer.  There's just something special 
about Harry........
