   Talk about the first date from hell! I'm not sure Harry's ready 
for a romantic relationship if even holding hands scares him so, poor 
boy. 

   He certainly isn't ready to deal with somebody as troubled as Cho. 
I think people have been a too little hard on her. Think about it; 
here's a teenage girl who's lost her first boyfriend suddenly and 
violently to the WW's version of satan. Of *course* she's an 
emotional basket case. It's clear that she desperately needs to hear 
exactly how Cedric died, God knows what nightmarish scenarios the 
poor kid's imagined. The truth, fortunately, is somewhat comforting. 
Cedric died instantaneously without time even to feel afraid, much 
less suffer pain. And there really was nothing he or Harry, taken by 
surprise as they were, could have done to prevent it.

  Unfortunately Harry is too traumatized himself to be able to 
comfort Cho, and she clearly has no idea how to help him. Maybe if 
they were a little older and more experienced they could comfort each 
other but as it is this relationship is doomed.
