Geoff:
Are you sure about that? I must disagree, because canon states 
otherwise....

'Crouch took a deep,shuddering breath, then began to speak in a flat, 
expressionless voice. "My mother saved me. She knew she was dying. 
She persuaded my father to rescue me as a last favour to her. He 
loved her as he had never loved me. He agreed. They came to visit me. 
They gave me a draught of Polyjuice Potion containing one of my 
mother's hairs. She took a draught of Polyjuice Potion containing one 
of my hairs. We took on each other's appearance."....

...."The Dementors are blind. They sensed one healthy, one dying 
person entering Azkaban. They sensed one healthy, one dying person 
leaving it. My father smuggled me out, disguised as my mother, in 
case any prisoners were watching through their doors.

My mother died a short while afterwards in Azkaban. She was careful 
to drink Polyjuice Potion until the end. She was buried under my name 
and bearing my appearance. Eveyone believed her to be me."'
