Hickengruendler:

Yes, and obviously there was a real danger in this tournament. A 
dragon is not harmless, for example. But neither of this is a reason, 
to believe that the judges wouldn't hace done anything to assure the 
hostage's safety.  

  Joe: Oh come on, Harry's entire time at Hogwarts has been an object lesson on just how dangerous the place is. They let a man with Voldemort growing on the back of his head teach in Harry's first year and every year since it has grown more apparent the people in charge aren't really in charge.
   
  By the time of the TWT Harry would have been an idiot not to assume that every possible situation would be fraught with peril. Harry's actions made perfect sense because he has a grasp of how things really are at Hogwarts in that time.
   
  His actions weren't even rash but they were the actions of a boy who has learned to err on the side of caution.
   
  Thats why Krum and Cedric didn't think twice about the other hostages. They don't have a good concept of how dangerous Hogwarts is at the time but Harry certainly does. Harry assumes the worst because at Hogwarts that has been his experience danger wise.
