Just a quick point:

In GoF, Harry got help (or was offered help) from several people:

Crouch/Moody helped Harry with every task, even though Harry didn't 
know it.  And he manipulated the following people into giving Harry a 
hand so Harry would win.

Hagrid told Harry about the dragons.  Though Crouch/Moody tells Harry 
that he nudged Hagrid to reveal that.

Cedric shared information (again from Crouch/Moody) with Harry about 
the egg.

Dobby told Harry about the gillyweed, which he learned about from 
Crouch/Moody.

Ludo Bagman, AFAIK the only one not being manipulated by 
Crouch/Moody, having made a bet that Harry would win the Tournament, 
offered to help Harry.  Harry did not take him up.

Oh, actually, Ron and Hermione helped out with researching and 
practicing.  I don't think Crouch had anything to do with that, 
specifically.


I don't recall Fudge doing anything to ensure Harry's getting to the 
Cup.

Voldemort Supporter)
