Crouch (again, sorry!)

Is it wise that he tries to kill Harry? We know that the whole point 
of Voldemort making this whole intricate, step by step plan 
throughout GoF is to kill Harry... he could have grabbed hold on any 
wizard who hated him but he wanted to kill Harry... Would Voldemort 
have been happy for Crouch to do it?

Also, McGonagall... At the start of Book 1, McGonagall asks 
Dumbledore "how he knew it was her" when she changes back from a 
cat... Dumbledore was the Transfiguration teacher at Hogwarts... Is 
that worth looking into?

Me:  Ok, Crouch tries to kill Harry after he comes back from seeing 
Voldemort in the graveyard.  If I'm not mistaken, Voldemort was 
trying to kill Harry after he'd has his use of him.  Crouch would 
have been the hero killing Harry at that point.  Am I correct?  Or is 
this not where you're talking about?

I think it would be interesting to explore that angle as well.  If 
McGonagall was teaching at Hogwarts already, surely Prof. Dumbledore 
knew it was her.  After all, there are so extremely few animagus in 
that century (didn't the book PoA say 7?) that if Dumbledore had in 
fact been the Transfiguration teacher, I would think it would be very 
much up his alley to know that McGonagall is one of them.  It 
registers all their markings at the MoM.  If Dumbledore is an 
animagus, I would think he's unregistered, because I would have 
thought Hermione would have mentioned it by now.  She did look all 
the registered ones up.  Why did McGonagall go and find Dumbledore 
there at the Dursley's if she wasn't already a Professor?  What 
business did she have tracking him down?  They must have already been 
friends?  Ok, so I think maybe this scene is one of those scenes that 
don't really make sense.  I would say the other uncorrected one that 
bugs me is when TtHarry and TtHermione watch themselves coming back 
out of the tunnel, and suddenly Hermione is coming out before Snape, 
where before, the first time, she came out after Snape, with Harry, 
and it reads that Sirius comes out last then.  So did something 
change?  Hermione can be before and after Snape?  And they didn't 
know?  Just another little error set in there to bug us :o)

Another interesting point.  If the MoM is so intent on finding all 
the magic that the young students are doing at home, why didn't they 
know about "Prongs, Wormtail, and Padfoot"?  And when did Rita 
Skeeter become an animagus?  I would think that maybe animagus type 
of magic is untrackable?
