With the death of Cedric as well as Sirius Harry
suffers and shows 
classic signs of survivor's guilt. By blaming himself
for both 
deaths Harry is saying that it should have been him
that died both 
times. In Cedric's death Harry thouhgt if he had not
told Cedric to 
take the cup with him then he would still be alive. In
Sirius's 
death Harry had been dueling with Bellatrix and
thought if he had 
finished her off then Sirius would not have died. But
as to who 
suffered more Harry is still suffering and Cedric's
are over.
