Jim Ferer (me) describing Death Eaters' alternatives for bringing down
Harry:"** accuse Harry of killing Cedric himself so that he could win
the Triwizard Cup himself, which fits in with the "glory-hunter" image
Draco's been painting with Rita's help. Harry's wand gets "lost," or
they accuse him of using a different one, or phony up the evidence
some other way."

Megalynn:" have to disagree with this, it's just too easy. It is plain
to see Cedric was killed by Avada Kedavra and as fake Moody said

"Avada Kedavra's a curse that needs a powerful bit of magic behind it-
you could all get your wands out now and point them at me and say the
words, and I doubt I'd get so much as a nosebleed."

It may be that a wizard can tell if someone was killed by AK, but
maybe not.  All they know for sure is Cedric's dead.  As for Harry
knowing AK, how can you prove a wizard doesn't have a certain skill? 
Harry's learned a lot of hexes, and he's the most talented wizard of
his age.  Moody can't testify Harry didn't know Avada Kedavra.

But the most dangerous point for Harry is that he's facing people who
are looking for ways to convict him of something.  Like a Muggle
prosecutor who ignores or even hides evidence that would exonerate
someone, Harry's enemies don't want justice, they want a conviction.

But it's just one alternative for bringing Harry down.	They may be
satisfied with getting Harry expelled and thrown out of Hogwarts,
where they hope it's open season on him.  Of course, Harry's got a lot
of friends who will do everything they can to protect him, including
giving their own lives.
