Dobby telling Harry that he was supposed to rescue Ron, and if I
remember correctly, the Champions are not told who or what they are
supposed to rescue before they go in the water. So if Harry had gone
there without Dobby's info, can you imagine his nasty surprise at
getting at the Merpeople's village and discovering that the 3 people
that count most for him are all there, and then having to figure out
on his own which one he's supposed to bring back ? Nasssty
sssurprise, my Preciousssss, nasssty !

Actually, I noticed right away that all the people in the lake were 
people HP cared about.  You might say, "But what about Gabrielle?  He 
didn't even know her," but she's part Veela, whose very nature is the 
power of attraction, plus she's young, and clearly related to Fleur, 
whom HP does know.  I also just thought it was odd that the 3 people 
HP cares about the most are there, plus we know the motivation for 
him saving the only person down there who's not connected to him in 
any way.
