Oh, oh, there's *canon* for this:  the first two instances in OoP 
where Cho is present and appears to be seeking Harry out!  The first 
is when he is covered with stinksap and thinks, I would *really* 
rather have her see me in a group of cool people I'd just amused with 
a joke; the second time is when Ron is there and becomes obstreperous 
about Cho's "Tornadoes" fan badge and Harry thinks, between Neville 
and Ron, am I "ever" going to have an interaction with Cho that 
doesn't have me wanting to bury my head? (It's Sunday morning and I 
am being too lazy to drag the actual canon (quotes) in here, but this 
is *real* close.)

The juxtaposition of Snape's Pensieve memory with these thoughts on 
Harry's part is, to me, actually a pretty good canon argument for 
LOLLIPOPS!
