I also think that it's possible. When the Durmstrang delegation 
arrives, Karkaroff says:"Dear old Hogwarts...How good it is to be 
here, how good..."(p.247 US hardcover). Sounds to me very much like a 
former student returning to alma mater.

Sirius thinks so too. When he talks to Harry from the fire ("The 
Hungarian horntail") he says about Karkaroff:"And since he got out, 
from what I can tell, he's been teaching the Dark Arts to every 
student...". I don't know if it's the truth though, because Sirius 
was out of Azkaban only for a few months at this time, and I have no 
idea where he could hear about this.

Hi, Ronin! This is really amazing how different readers can see the 
same character so differently! I never considered Krum to be "a dumb 
jock" <g>. Are you sure you didn't confuse him with the movie Krum?
