That's an interesting thought, Steph.  I did notice in GoF that 
Hermione did show some interest in Krum.  I don't know whether she 
was admiring his skill or his looks.  I tend to lean right now 
toward Hermione and Ron possibly hooking up.  This has been 
developing since I think CoS.  The most telling signs were in GoF.  
The argument after the yule ball was a clue.  I think even Harry 
knew what Hermione meant.
