Erm...Because Harry was told by fake Crouch or somebody that Krum was under 
the imperious curse. Why should Harry be concerned after the fact? Krum 
wasn't at any fault, it was an evil guy controlling him. 

Was it cruciatus curse that was used though? For some reason I thought it was 
something milder that Imperio-controlled Viktor used.
