Ahh, I'm not so sure the Quidditch fame had much to do with Hermione's 
interest in Krum. Personally, I think it was despite this, as Hermione is 
painfully bad at remembering most things Quidditch.

I imagine that it was somewhere in the library where they began speaking and 
discovering the attractive facts. I agree with you that Krum is attracted to 
her intellectual "athleticism" ( great way to word it, mind you ;)) but I 
think in turn Hermione realises that there is more to Krum than the Quidditch 
facade that all of the other girls in the school fancy 
oh-so-very-much-giggle-giggle-giggle.

Hermione, though true in her friendship to Harry sees that fame, as Snape 
puts it "clearly isn't everything." Harry is a talented wizard, but she has 
had to help him out of a bind more than once. So, for Krum to be a part of 
her life, he would have to have a lot more to offer than just talent on the 
Quidditch pitch.

( who forgot to mention she took in a new rescue puppy who is fluffy brown, 
very bright and a girl; thus she instantly became Hermione)
