Could Victor Krum be a  male Veela and are Veela part bird?

At the quidditch world cup when the Veela were angry, Harry said 
that "their faces were elongating into sharp, cruel-beaked bird 
heads, and long, scaly wings were bursting from their shoulders"(GOF 
pg. 111). Harry had described Krum as looking "
thin, dark, and 
sallow-skinned, with a large curved nose and thick black eyebrows. He 
looked like an overgrown bird of prey" (GOF pg.105), also when Krum 
did the Wronski Feint Harry describes Krum as though he was not using 
a broomstick at all; he moved so easily through the air that he 
looked unsupported and weightless (GOF pg. 109). Could Krum be a 
Veela or is he a half-breed of some kind with bird-like looks and 
capabilities? 

The Veela when angry look like a bird and Krum also looks like a bird 
and is described as flying like a bird i.e. weightless and 
unsupported. Could Krum be a male version of a Veela? Can he actually 
fly without a broom? How could this be of use in later books? In the 
most recent chat, JKR said that we would see Krum again although not 
soon. Any ideas?
