Remember it is a kids book.  Even though more adults and teens enjoy 
the stories now, Rowling still has to respect the fact that younger 
kids are reading.  
Leaving the event blank enables each age group reading to place their 
own expectations, desires and experience on what is happening between 
Harry and Cho.  For example a 35 year old will imagine the kiss very 
differently than a 13 year old.
