Excuse me, but I think this discussion started off when we were trying 
to find out in what way Harry could be protected from LV or how Snape 
could help him, so I´m rather sure

1. Harry (as well as his friends) will be informed of any measures of 
protection as crucial as this

AND

2. JKR will certainly choose the most effective and surprising 
protecting measure, not the one that will make you laugh most, I´m 
afraid.

We´ve had lots of fun with the polyjuicing in CoS,  but I think that 
Barty Crouch Jr. using the PP for deceiving and betraying his 
unknowing enemies has taken the light-hearted fun out of it once and 
for all.
