Yes, but it always bothers me when I think about Crouch!Moody "fixing"
the contest.  I hope Harry could have won anyway...but I don't know. 
Particularly the second challenge.  Probably the first.  I hate when
somebody lets me win at something, and so it has always bothered me
that Crouch!Moody's designs undermine all of Harry's true hard work.

PS--I think DD knows Harry well enough to know that he was going to
try, and that may have been exactly why he didn't prevent him from
competing.  I think he also hoped to draw Harry's antagonist out,
which he did.  I think he trusted that Harry could handle himself.
