Cindy suggested:

Apparently, Crouch/Moody attaches some significance to the use of 
Harry's blood.  I think it's reasonable to conclude that Moody does 
not believe the use of Harry's blood is Voldemort's fatal error.  If 
Crouch/Moody really believed that, I have trouble understanding why 
he proceeds with the plan to kill Harry.  Wouldn't it make more 
sense for Crouch/Moody to abandon the plan and simply explain away 
his kidnapping of Harry?  Why kill Harry if Crouch/Moody knows that 
Voldemort has made a fatal error?  From Crouch/Moody's POV, it might 
make some sense to just take Harry to the hospital wing and forget 
the whole thing, rather than risk his life in service to Voldemort-
The-Forgetful.

That means Crouch/Moody (and by extension, Voldemort) believes that 
using Harry's blood is not a fatal error for the Dark Side.  Why 
would Crouch/Moody and Voldemort, both smart, talented, experienced 
Dark Wizards come to the exact opposite conclusion as Dumbledore?

Mahoney added:
So, a lot of hints, allusions, or seeming unimportant asides 
eventually turn out to have surprising and important repercussions.  
Because of this, I think that Voldemort and Crouch/Moody are certain 
of how the blood-sharing works to their advantage, and might find it 
inconceivable that any disadvantage would be significant enough to 
worry about; and yet Dumbledore would have the opposite opinion ~ he 
would know the advantages to the bad guys, but will suspect that the 
advantages to the good guys may outweigh the former.

I.e., two very smart men focusing on the possiblities which could 
benefit them the most.

Ehm.  If that makes any sense.  I guess my main point is that I think

there is quite enough foreshadowing to indicate that The Gleam is 
Dumbledore intuiting a fatal flaw which may or may not have been 
considered by Voldemort.


--> I quite agree with Mahoney, in that there must be something that
Voldemort hasn't realized. We know that he is a very powerful dark
wizard, however he doesn't know everything, and he makes mistakes
because of that: he didn't know about the wands, he didn't know the
consequences of attacking Harry as a baby, and i guess there will be
more that we'll see. Dumbledore, on the other hand, even though he
doesn't know everything either, is a very wise, experienced, old
wizard, with a lot of knowledge of old, ancient magic, and might have
deduced something.

Sorry if it seems i repeat the same information, but every time i
want to post, i find somebody that had the same exact thoughts who
has answered already!! That is the problem with digest, i guess, but
otherwise i couldn't handle everything.

I guess i trust people too much... i can't accept that Dumbledore, or
Sirius or Lupin, would do anything bad... :) Is there any club for
those hopeless idealists like me?
