Juli:

I have thought about it before, I just imagine there is some sort of 
filter, a barrier, a spell or whatever in order to keep all the nasty 
flushables out of the lake. I doubt that Dumbledore as conscious as 
he is about all creatures he just could ignore the mere people like 
that. Besides I don't think it would be healthy to let the Champions 
and their *hostages* to stay in a lake full of fecal matter urine and 
who knows what else. So either it slipt by JKR or there's a filter, I 
hope it's the filter.
