Cedric's Death

I just completed a reread of OotP, and although I enjoyed the 
greater amount of insight we had into the WW, some of the plot 
leaves me...less then happy.  I'll start with Cedric's death.

Harry is found holding Cedric's dead body in the maze.  I'm assuming 
that the ministry has some way of telling if he died of AK, so why 
did they try to explain it away with a 'tragic accident.'  We know 
that Harry was no longer popular in the WW and that the justice 
system is a joke, so why did no one raise any questions into how 
Cedric died.

Why didn't Tommy instruct Malfoy to raise some questions publicly?  
That seemed a perfect way to get Harry out from under Albus's 
control.  Did Tommy's affair with the prophecy, blind him to a 
better way to remove Harry form Hogwart's?  Even if Albus hid Harry, 
removing him from Hogwart's and the WW would still would have been a 
sucsess.
