                                  Eddie  queried:
Does Voldemort really care if anybody is suspicious or not?  I can't recall
 the canon now, but didn't Barty Crouch Jr. light the dark mark at the
 Quidditch on Voldemort's orders?  That doesn't seem in line with
 trying to not raise suspicions about his return.
 




akh responds:

That scenario was in the movie, not the book.  To our knowledge, LV was no more aware than anyone else that Barty Crouch didn't die in Azkaban, but was polyjuiced and traded for his dying mother.  He took it entirely upon himself to shoot off the Dark Mark.  In fact, he was Imperio'd until quite shortly before he set of the Mark.  We later find out that he sought out LV after the Quidditch World Cup, once he was no longer under his father's Imperious Curse.  

Because of this timeline, it's entirely possible that LV was less than thrilled with either the Death Eaters' or Barty's displays at the QWC.  However, we don't see the initial interaction between Barty and LV, so we can make up whatever we like!

akh, who doesn't write fan fiction but can see endless possibilities...
