I'm not giving away huge plot points that would spoil the next two
books but I'm giving you some insights. 

Viktor Krum: IN OoP and HBP we see some very vague references to Krum.
Hermione writes to him and maybe brings him up a couple of times. So
far he's not played a vital role. There is still one more book to go
so who really knows. 

Another foreign witch does make an appearance back in HBP. You know
from the end of GOF that Fleur is dating Bill Weasly. I'm not going to
tell you everything but she does come to play a bigger role in HBP. 

Colin and Dennis: After the CoS Colin seems to have stopped his need
to follow Harry around and take pictures. It seems that being a muggle
born wizard and coming to Hogwarts was such a huge deal that he was
over excited. After his first year he seems to have calm down. As far
as Dennis and Colin come into play as just bit parts here and there.
So far they have yet to really play a pivitol role in Harry and his
relationship with LV but there is still one more book to go. Also
Colin's camera got destroyed when he took a picture of the basilisk. 

"Dumbledore didn't answer. He opened the back of the camera....A jet
of steam had hissed out of the camera. Harry, three beds away, caught
the acrid smell of burnt plastic." Cos page 180. 

So Colin no longer has a camera as far as we know. JKR has not
mentioned another camera but it is safe to say his old one is not
working. 


In terms of Colin and Dennis saving Harry from LV. I know myself I
would be terribly upset if someone besides Harry beat LV. We have
spent six books cheering Harry on and learning more pieces to his
story to have someone else swoop in and take the glory. That is my
opinion so to speak.
