As  astute as this list is, I¹m sure I¹m reviewing old material, but  here
goes...

In my reread of GOF, I¹ve wondered if Krum is a DE in  training.  Karkaroff
is, and Harry was told that Karkaoff trains his  students in the dark arts as
often as possible.  And, Krum is clearly  Karkaroff¹s favorite student.

JKR has said that we¹ll see more of Krum,  IIRC.  Any thoughts?

I don't believe Krum is a DE.  It's true he's Karkaroff's favorite  student, 
but
Krum doesn't seem to feel the same way about him.  I think Karkaroff  likes
Krum so much, because he's famous, and sees him as his best chance
of winning the TWT for their school.  If Krum was really a DE, he  would have
been much more likely to try and hurt Harry.  Not only that Krum was  
obviously
very taken with Hermione in GOF, she's known to be a Muggleborn, and  that
definitely isn't acceptable in the DE camp.  
 
I do however remember JKR's statement, I wonder when he'll be back??
