Jen: I didn't get the Viktor-missing-Hermione pairing either, except 
as an opportunity to show Ron was jealous and to provide more proof 
that Harry/Hemione aren't meant for each other ;)!

Seriously, though, I thought of those picks as a snapshot in time, 
perhaps chosen by the judges? Either that or Karkaroff, Maxime, 
McGonagall & Flitwick chose. Dumbledore mentions at the end of GOF 
that Flitwick knew Cedric best. McGonagall knows quite a bit more 
about Harry than she lets on, I think!
