In the beginning of Goblet of Fire, when Harry dreamed (or rather 
saw) what was happening at the Riddle House that night 
between Frank Bryce, Voldemort, and Wormtail, and then wrote 
to Sirius about his scar, but left out the dream part, did anyone 
realize that by putting in the dream he could have maybe saved 
Cedric from dying, or at least stopped Voldemort from rising 
again? Harry didn't of course realize it at the time, but what he 
dreamed was not actually a dream, but a vision of what was 
really happening. Dumbledore had thought that Harry might feel 
what Voldemort was feeling, and that he was connected to 
Voldemort. And since Sirius was in contact with Dumbeldore, if 
Harry had described the dream to Sirius, Sirius would have most 
likely passed it on to Dumbledore. Then Dumbledore would 
have, I'm sure, figured Voldemort's plan out in the end... given 
this information from the dream. If he wouldn't have figured out 
the whole plan, he would have at least been suspicious and 
might have canceled the Triwizard Tournament, or done 
SOMETHING. 

So everytime I read the part where Harry leaves out the dream in 
the letter, I think, "Oooh, if he had JUST put that in..." Of course, I 
know that it was essential to the plot that Voldemort rose again, 
just so Harry can defeat him once and for all in the end (which I 
think will happen.) 

Did anyone else make this realization?
