3 points to discuss:

1. What did the audience see during the 3rd Task of the Triwizard
Tournament? I can't see a couple hundred people just sitting in the
stands staring at the 20 foot high hedge for an hour or so. I wonder if
they had overhead magic-cams and big diamond concert screen thingies so
they could watch the champions get thru the maze. What a great moment if
they could have SEEN Harry and Diggory decide to take the cup together,
and then vanish. ZOWIE!

2. Why doesn't Dumbledore use his Pensieve on Harry, and just EXTRACT the
whole Voldemort episode from Harry's thoughts? In addition to providing
a clear picture of what happened, just like the courtroom scene Harry
witnessed thru Dumbledore's stored memories, it would have provided proof
not only of Peter Pettigrew's continued existence, but also provided
the names of the Death Eaters who rejoined Voldemort.

3. As an aside, it's interesting that none of Harry's friends or teachers
has ever witnessed Harry battling with Voldemort. Harry alone survived
his babyhood encounter with Voldemort; Harry was alone with Quirrel
(who ended up dead) & Voldemort; he was alone with Tom Riddle and the
Basilisk; he was alone with Voldemort and the Death Eaters. It'd be
nice if some time there were some friendly AND powerful witnesses to
what Harry has achieved through his own bravery.
