  Yeah I agree. But I also think that Harry told Cedric about the dragons because in the first place Cedric was also the chosen Hogwarts champion and Harry didn't really expect to become one(although, he dreamt about it). Maybe he thought that he didn't deserve to be a champion. Remember how surprised and speechless he was when his name came out of the goblet? After that incident people were congratulating him thinking that he intenionally put his name in the goblet. Of course no one believed that it was a mistake except for Hermione and a few others and he tried to tell them that he didn't put his name in the goblet. He even got into a fight with Ron because of this. After he found out about the dragons, he still haven't the slightest clue about how he could make it through the first task. By telling Cedric about the dragons, Harry might have hoped that Cedric would win the first task since he was the rightful champion.
