I stand corrected. Shows you how long it's been since I've read GoF:) 
Still, I think the point stands that Harry, attracted as he was to 
Fleur, had something he could have used as an in with her, and still 
didn't pursue her when he could have shows that he was not just after 
a girl who was pretty.  I still say that he liked Cho for Cho and not 
just because she was really pretty--although I'm sure that does help.

You do bring up some interesting points, especially about the smiling 
ratio. I still say that H/Hr is the most unlikely but theoretically 
possible ship in the book. When the author calls them platonic 
friends that seems to me to be pretty much the kiss of death when it 
comes to shipping them.
