    Maybe not but Cho *needs* to hear how Cedric died, God knows what 
  kind of nightmarish fantasies she's conjured up on sleepless nights. 
  The Diggorys probably told her Cedric died quickly and didn't suffer 
  but how can she believe them? they might just be saying that to sooth 
  her. Harry was there, he saw, *he* can tell her the truth. 


  Me:
  I agree that it would be good for Cho to know how Cedric really died, but can't she just go out and ask Harry without all the boyfriend/grielfriend stuff?
  I know I would be incredibly annoyed if the person I wanted to date only wanted to talk about her/his ex and pump me for information.
  The whole set up at the cafe where Cho always went with Cedric and when she started talking about Cedric only screamed 'exploitation' on Cho's part.
  I can understand that a few months after her boyfriend's death she would want to know what really happened and is still very emotional about it, but that's no reason to lead Harry on and make him believe that there could be more between them.
  IMO Cho was simply looking for a source of information and perhaps a shoulder to cry on because Harry was there when Cedric died but wasn't really interested in Harry himself.
