It seems to me that the girls whom Harry didn't even know who asked 
him to the Ball were not having a crush on him, not having hopes of a 
relationship with the Triwizard Champion, but simply wanted to be 
seen Opening the Ball. I mean, they never flocked after him like 
they did after Krum, apparently never tried to strike up a 
conversation with him...
