This is one of two major points where I don't understand MD.  If 
Dumbledore is secretly guiding Voldemort to use the flawed potion, and 
if one of the flaws was the use of Harry's blood, how did D expect V 
to obtain the blood without capturing Harry?  Wouldn't this have made 
Harry's portkeying away from the Triwizard maze less of a surprise?  I 
would expect Dumbledore to put these two facts together and be on his 
guard: that Voldemort is to make a potion using Harry's blood, and 
that Harry has unaccountably been entered into the TWT.

Clearly, D *was* very concerned that Harry was entered, but under MD I 
would think he would make more of a connection of it to Voldemort and 
V's need for Harry's blood.  On the other hand, if D is merely 
a)training Harry to face Voldemort as he knows he must and b)doing his 
best to anticipate possible attacks in VWII,  then he would have less 
reason to guess what Harry's entry is all about.

Going one step further, if Dumbledore's intent was for Voldemort to 
use a flawed potion containing Harry's blood, how exactly did he 
*expect* V to obtain the blood without putting Harry through as bad an 
experience as happened in the graveyard in GoF?
