Putting a positive spin on it.

I have decided that, if the film of GoF is uncanonically portraying Durmstrang and Beauxbatons as old-fashioned in their lack of co-educational status, this means that the homoerotica in both schools is rampant--and that Hogwarts is by comparison a hotbed of progressiveness and so there's even less homophobia there than we slashers pretend, in our giddy fandom brains.

So meh.

Ooh, you're good! I agreed that I thought Harry would have made an observation if it had been all boys but I hadn't been able to find a specific quote. Thank you!

Except we still don't know, do they? They did sit down at a table full of Slytherins, and perhaps he was nudging a Slytherin girl?

Er, we. Do we.
