It seems to me that if this were simply a case of ancient magic, 
Voldemort would be familiar with it as well.  After all, he may be 
the brightest student Hogwarts has ever seen.  Sure, he made a 
mistake by killing Harry after Lily died to protect him, but that was 
done in rage and in a matter of moments.  Voldemort was planning to 
use Harry's blood months before the attack.  Don't you think that in 
all that time he would have thought through any possible side 
effects?  What makes more sense to me is that this ever-present-in-
these-discussions gleam has more to do with something about Harry 
that is not common knowledge.  Maybe something Dumbledore himslef did 
to Harry, or something his parents did that Dumbledore knows about.  
I mean, if Harry is indeed the hier of Gryfindor, and people knew 
that the Potters were being tracked by Voldemort, isn't it possible 
that some sort of magic would have been used to protect Harry?  
Something Voldemort would not have found out about?  However, 
Crouch/Moody's reaction to this H/V blood sharing was bugging me 
until I read these messages.

Now the pieces of my little pet theory are really starting to come 
together. This idea of Dumbledore confiding to Crouch/Moody accounts 
for Crouch/Moody knowing something that is not just ancient magic and 
Voldemort not knowing it.  What do you think?
