James adds:
 
We have to remember that there were two goals, not one in LV's mind at 
the time. It's obvious that he wanted/needed Harry. But you can't 
overlook the second goal, to return without anyone having any 
suspicions.
 
Eddie:
I can imagine this is true, but I'm not entirely persuaded.  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.
 
Tintonks butts in:
JKR says on her website when asked about why veritaserum is not used, 
that it works more on the unsuspecting. I believe that this is the 
same for all magic where the mind is a key defence (i.e the imperious 
curse etc)

Also one of LV's greatest tools is fear. If you are unprepared for LV 
turning up on your door, and know that nobody will suspect his hand in 
you fate you are unlike;y to have any means of escape or protection.

Plus DD immediately begun taking measures against LV. I dont think we 
have even touched on what these measures are but we undoubtedly will.

I dont think that BC Jr was supposed to put cast the dark mark in the 
air. I'm pretty sure that he couldn't resist it because of his old 
bitterness for all the DE's who roam free.
