Sandy:
The only reason he was in the Tournament was because Crouch got him into it. 
Considering he was three years underage for it to begin with I don't have a 
problem with any of his *failures* as you put it. I don't question his daring 
either because he didn't have any desire to break the age restriction and be in 
the Tournament to begin with, so why would he want the money? What, to me, was 
unfair was that he was forced by the unbreakable magic contract to compete 
despite the fact he did not enter his name and had no desire to do so. To 
criticize Harry in any way about anything regarding the Tournament is grossly 
unfair. Just my opinion.
