I think this is a great observation. Especially since Krum went to a school 
that teaches *use* of the Dark Arts, rather than just *defense* against them. 

I keep equating Krum in my mind with Rolf, the boy from the Rodgers and 
Hammerstein musical "Sound of Music."  :)  In that story (******SPOILER******, if 
you haven't seen the play or the film or heard the story), one of the Von Trapp 
girls fell in love with Rolf (they sang "You Are Sixteen, Going On Seventeen" 
together), and, when the Von Trapps had to flee from the Nazis later on, Rolf 
turned out to be a Nazi himself. 

I wonder if there will be a similar difficult issue for Hermione and Krum 
later on.
