Spoiler:

The not so simple fact is that Kyon's attractiveness to Haruhi is greatly enhanced by the fact that she half-remembers him from "three years ago," as a time-traveling Kyon carrying an unconscious time-traveling moeblob happened upon loli-Haruhi. Kyon proceeded to contribute to the delinquency of a minor by carrying out helping loli-Haruhi carry out her act of vandalism on the grounds of her middle-school.

When asked of his name, Kyon tells Haruhi that his name is John Smith. Haruhi doesn't yet equate Kyon to John Smith. If she did, things could get . . . interesting . . .

Yeah I think you pretty much got it, that and he gave her the idea to start the club.

Something I noticed when I was looking at the illustations in the first novel, in one of them she has a lol-fang, (in her case it's a cos-rape-fang) too bad this didn't make the leap to the anime. But I guess two characters with a fang would be too much.
