    I think it's safe to say that Harry's pretty well through with Cho. Have you ever heard the expression "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach"? It may not work in real life, but in the HP books Harry's stomach is a handy indicator of his feelings for Cho.

    The first time he saw Cho in PoA "he felt a slight jolt in the region of his stomach" (192 UK). His reaction to her is similar after that, but things change about halfway through OoP. In OoP his stomach goes from doing back-flips in the first half of the book, to giving "an unpleasant lurch" (UK 504) after the Valentine's Day debacle, to "a feeble lurch" accompanied by a "_slight_ twinge of jealousy" (603-- emphasis added) after the fight about Marietta, to neither jealousy nor anything else at the end of the book

    I think Harry's lessening reaction suggests that his infatuation with Cho has run its course.

I happen to be an avid H/H shipper so I quite disagree with your statement about Hermione and Ron. That said, I don't think Harry's going to be jumping into a new relationship in book six. He's just lost his godfather and found out about the prophecy; I don't think romance will be his primary concern. I do hope that he will eventually end up with Hermione, but I can't see this happening until book seven-- and probably the end of the book at that.
