I've got to wonder if some seeds of doubt weren't planted in the Death
Eaters minds by Harry's performance. First, he was able to throw off the
Big V's imperious curse, which a very experienced wizard such as Crouch
Sr. wasn't able to do. Then they had to watch the battle of the wands,
with Harry forcing the balls of light back into the Big V's wand. That
was a most impressive performance!
