Surely it would make Crouch look pretty good to kill Harry that's 
true.  But is it really true that Voldemort *can't* kill Harry?  I 
mean, the first time around was a sort of freak thing with the AK 
bouncing off (due to his mother's sacrifice).  Then in SS/PS 
Voldemort didn't even have his own body, but was using Quirrell's, 
which couldn't get past Harry's mom's protective powers.  Which have 
now, I suppose worn off, or been used up, or however it goes.  
Anyway, in GoF, Voldemort makes the mistake of giving Harry his wand 
back.  If Harry hadn't had his wand, what would have happened?  
The "brother" wands were forced to duel and thus created an 
unexpected situation.  Of course Harry knew the wands 
were "brothers," but did not what this would do, and Voldemort didn't 
know at all. Voldemort of course was trying to be noble or something 
(if you can call it noble to attempt to murder a fourteen year old 
half trained wizard whether he has his wand or not) by giving him his 
wand to have a "duel."  Voldemort was certainly able to hurt Harry 
through the Crutacious curse, and I still believe if Harry hadn't had 
the sense to shout out a spell (any one would've done I believe) to 
meet Voldemort's AK spell in mid air and thus create the unforeseen 
occurance of the clashing brother wands he would've been killed by it.

Well, enough said.
