drugs or just stupid?

As I see it Voldemort needs to beat Harry in a fight to reassure 
himself that he can do it. He wants to show this to his DE, but I 
would say that he primarily needs it for himself. To me it seems very 
consistent with his world domination aspirations - comes from the 
same megalomaniac fantasy.

mistake, Jo had worked with it and come up with a reason for James' 
emerging first?

No, I don't. I caught the mistake in my first or second reading of 
the book, and that's how it seemed to me then - a mistake. I shrugged 
and kept reading. It didn't bother me a bit. (unlike the portkey 
question which can still keep me awake at night. :-) )
