Lord V didn't want anyone to know that he was back so he didn't want 
Harry dead under suspicious circumstances, he wanted it to look like 
a tragic accident and the TWT was perfect cover.  The 3rd task was 
the only one suitable (first too visible to all and 2nd supervised 
by the merpeople).

Ooh no!  I don't think only Lord V can kill Harry at all.  Only 
Harry can kill Lord V, and "neither can live while the other 
survives" but Harry can still be killed by other means, I'm sure.  
Had the DEs have got hold of the prophecy sphere, then they would 
have killed Harry.  Malfoy only told them to be careful of him till 
they got the sphere.
