Well, yes, but at age thirteen (or older) you would think that it would have 
occurred to MWPP that sending someone into the same place as a werewolf 
might not be a good idea either.  I think that teenagers consider themselves 
and their contemporaries immortal, until either age or a sharp shock teaches 
them otherwise. Harry (among others) got the sharp shock from Cedric's 
death. Draco, not caring about Cedric, probably hasn't gotten it yet. Also, 
remember the theory that a fall from a height might hurt a wizard but is 
unlikely to kill him.
