Wouldn't it be interesting if this could play more into Ron's insecurities? 
We know that Ron couldn't resist the Veela charm, and though I don't get the 
impression he's seriously interested in a relationship with her, it'd be yet 
*another* situation in which Ron lost out to one of his siblings or friends. 

At the end of GoF, Ron's still not able to control himself in front of Fleur, 
and he chokes a response to her about her English improving. She smiles and 
says nothing directly to him, but I'll bet he would feel a little slighted if 
his brother now wins the heart of the Veela.
