Yes, Cho seems to be a nice girl. But I don't know that Harry ever 
WILL get to know her better. I imagine that just looking in her 
direction will make him feel bad in book 5.

Besides, it seemed pretty clear to me from the time she was 
introduced (and nothing later changed that impression) that Cho was 
meant to be the "unattainable first crush" for Harry. The girl he 
looks longingly at across the Great Hall, but who he can never "get".
