[quote="Black']I tend to agree with you about Cho. In reality it wasn't until after the article came out that she finally knew exactly what happened to Cedric and Harry was to close minded to look outside of himself to realize that there were other people that had a right to know what took place.
Then she stands up for her friend like Harry would do and he blows his stack before she can talk to him rationally. It really could have been handled better but it seemed Rowling wants to make Harry a naive dunderhead who doesn't even know the basics about girls, yet spends so much time around Hermione that it seems almost impossible aht he hasn't picked up something.[/quote]
While your first statement has merit, the bit about Hermione is ridiculous. She was well on her way to being a complete social outcast, and avoided that fate because of Quirrell letting a troll into the dungeon. In Fact using her to learn about girls is probably the reason Harry was so bad with them, Harry's dialogue with her about Cho suggested that as well.
