Bren now:

WHAT?!?!?!?!?
Ok, now we have gone TOO FAR. Cedric's death was no one's fault, 
except for Voldy's. No one had imagined that the Triwizard Cup was in 
fact a portkey. Both Cedric and Harry were very noble and decent in 
deciding to take the cup together, seeing as how they helped each 
other throughout the competition. Like Harry said, after all, it was 
Hogwart's champion who won.

And where does it say that Snape attended DE meeting in the 
graveyard? He is a professor at Hogwarts, and at the last night of 
Triwizard competition he would have had to remain beside DD, making 
sure that no other catastrophe happens. Also, as Hermione has 
repeatedly mentioned in the series, you just can't Apparate and 
Diapparate from Hogwarts ground! And the only means to have himself 
transported to the graveyard was through the Portkey, which Harry and 
Cedric had already taken away.

Unless, you were being sarcastic and I just flipped out for no 
apparent reason.

I also disgree with Kneasy,

at Cho. <<<

You think Harry wanted Cho *that badly* to actually eliminate Cedric 
on the way? Then why would he have nightmares about Cedric in summer? 
Out of guilt? I don't even believe Cho loved Cedric, she probably 
played along to remain as a girlfriend of a popular good-looking guy -
 she's a social climber.

apparent reason.
