Me:
But you have to look into reasons *why* Hermione talks
about Harry so much.  A strong point that someone made
is that when Ron and Harry had been fighting, Ron had
been spending most of his time with Fred, George, and
Lee Jordan.  Harry had spent most of his time with
Hermione.  In GoF he even says something about how
it's more fun having Ron as your best friend because
being best friends with Hermione means spending alot
of time in the library.  Also, because of his
"Hermione, you're a girl" comment, she's probably
spending even less time with Ron than usual.

Another thing that just occured to me is that maybe
she talked about Harry often because he and Krum have
things in common.  Not to be mean to Ron (because his
day of glory will come soon enough) but up until now,
what has he done that Hermione can really talk about? 
Harry and Krum are both famous (and generally annoyed
or embarassed about it) they're both seekers and
they're both school champions.  There's just alot more
to say about Harry than about Ron and if she is
actually talking about Harry more that's why I think
she's doing it.  
But, I would still take into account that Krum may not
even notice when she talks about Ron.  I don't think
he even really knows who Ron is.  But when he hears
her talking about the famous Harry Potter, he notices.

Wow, that was long. ~Kathryn
