I've been trying to catch up on my posts and the topic of Dumbledore's 
gleam in the eye at the end of GoF seems to come up fairly often.  I 
personally think that this suggests Voldemort has made some sort of 
mistake in using Harry's blood which we will find out about later.  A 
little more of the "ancient magic" we keep hearing about.

Anyway, when this topic is being discussed, I have not so far noticed 
anyone bringing up that Crouch Jr. also reacts oddly when he finds out 
the Dark Lord took Harry's blood.  I don't have a copy with me (I had 
to return it to the library - I'd renewed it too many times), but if I 
remember correctly, their conversation goes something like this.

Crouch: And what did the Dark Lord take from you?
Harry: My blood.
Crouch then lets out his breath in a long, low hiss and then grabs 
Harry's arm to look at the cut.

I think that Crouch also having such a strange reaction to this 
suggests that both he and Dumbledore must know something about why 
Voldemort should not have done that.  After all, it wouldn't be the 
first time Voldemort had failed to consider fully what he was doing 
and it coming back to bite hi
