I disagree. Harry is a natural source of conversation between Hermione and Krum since Krum and Harry are both Triwizard champions, whereas Ron would be hard to work into the conversation.

More importantly, the flashes of resentment Hermione demonstrates towards Ron around the time of the Yule Ball is more indicative of emotional tension between her and Ron. By comparision, there is insufficient evidence of any attraction to Harry by Hermione. Harry is clearly meant to drawn to the still sketchy character of Cho Chang. And Hermione, if interested in Harry, would have made use of the perception of a relationship between them after the Rita Skeeter article.
