What if Moody had screwed up?

You know, thinking about the Third Task, there were a lot of chances for
Moody to screw up his part in things very badly. Imagine if he _hadn't_
Stunned Fleur Delacour...and she'd grabbed the Cup? I don't think for a
second that she's not talented, and she might well have Veela-related skills
that would have been helpful with some of the perils that Harry didn't
happen to face.
So, Fleur gets the Cup, and is Portkeyed to the Little Hangleton cemetery.
Now what?
You know, _that_ is an eventuality that would seriously throw a spanner into
Lord V's plans, wouldn't it? It would make a heckuva fanfic, too.
Would the blood of a _witch_ have the same effect on Lord V's resurrection?
Or would he come out of there...altered...in ways he hadn't expected?
"WORMTAILLLL! I've become _Lady_ Voldemort! AAAUGHHHH!" *At this point,
Lord, now Lady, Voldemort starts whaling on Wormtail with the biggest stick
he, now she, can find for screwing up _that_ badly*
Not to mention, all that Veela ancestry in Fleur's blood might kick Lord V's
libido back into action, even if he came out of the cauldron male. _That_
opens up a whole different can of worms, doesn't it? "Hmmmm...I feel the
first animal stirrings I've had in many, many years, and here's Fleur, all
helpless. I won't need the robes _just_ yet, Wormtail..." Of course, JKR's
writing books that are read by children, so she couldn't have gone there,
could she? I wouldn't put that past Lord V for one second, though. (And if
another side-effect was that he was back in his han'sum "Tom Riddle" body,
that would also alter things considerably, even if he _didn't_ decide to
ravish Fleur.)
