It might be interesting to see the love triangle.  But I don¹t think we know
enough about Krum to accurately guess what house he¹d be sorted into.
Slytherin seems to be a combination of happenstance and a reflection
specifically of Karkaroff IMO.

But I honestly don¹t think Krum would play Quidditch at the school.  Why
would he?  He¹s already on a national team.  And there¹s no significant
challenge for him after playing on a national team.  Unless he¹s no longer
allowed on the team for not living in the country.  But then, I could see
any of the U.K. Teams trying to snatch him up.

What I¹m interested to know is how and where the Durmstrang and Beauxbaton
students get their lessons.  Do they learn from the Hogwarts faculty?  Or
did faculty members we haven¹t met come along?
