^AGREED!
I most certianly don't hate her, and I detest those Cho-bashers. Actually though, there was a lot of Cho-bashing, even before the Fifth book because Harry crushed on Cho.
Oh NO! Our belove god HARRY POTTER has a crush on SOMEONE! He thinks she's pretty! I HATE HER!!!!
As to her trying to make Harry jealous, well, wouldn't you? Like Hermione said, if YOU were on a date, and your date started talking about another girl, wouldn't YOU try to impress him with your other guy as well? We see everything from Harry's point of view, have you ever tried seeing it from someone else's?
And for Gods sake, she lost her boyfriend. He was murdered. I should think that would make anyone weepy, losing a person you cared for in that way. And in the GoF when Harry asked her out, it's not like she acted smug after turning him down. She was seriously unhappy to have to do it, and she didn't string Harry along. She wasn't after him for his fame either!
Give Cho Chang a break. Because if you don't, I'll give YOU a break. Somewhere. Literally.
