Hmmm, I think Darrin is correct, and have never quite believed the 
whole gay thing anyway.  The majority of boys mature emotionally 
slower than girls, hence the whole older guy thing. This is Harry's 
first crush, of course he is going to bumble a bit. I dont see 
anything out of the ordinary in Harry's interaction with Cho or 
anything that this points to Harry being gay!

As far as Cho liking Harry, IMO she is looking for closure on 
Cedric's death. Unfortunately she does not take into account Harry's 
age and ends up frustrated.

THEY ARE BOTH TEENAGERS!
