GoF, duelling techniques...

Just a small point but one that nobody in RL so far has managed to 
answer/clarify, so naturally i turn to y'all heh..;

In the cemetary scene of Goblet of Fire, Harry has already gone 
through the taskts (obv). In the first task, he summoned his 
broomstick to him.

Understandably, Harry, being a gryffindor, wanted to face Voldemort 
standing up - and i think he says as much, but why not try summoning 
the cup? Was it because he wanted to return Cedric's body, even 
though Echo!Cedric hadn't yet 'emerged' due to the Priori Incantatem?

>From a literary p.o.v. this technique definitely added a whole lot 
more to the plot in terms of drama, esp. when Harry appears back at 
the school with Cedric's body - but I can't help thinking that Book 
7 will be a culmination of everything we know of the magical world - 
all of Harry's knowledge (therefore, in a sense, ours of Harry's 
abilities), the ways of doing magic we have seen (e.g. wordlessly) 
and the techniques (transfiguring yourself into an object - 
armchair, in the case of Slughorn). Do you think there will be 
one 'type' of technique that is more important than all others? 
Will somebody else die to save Harry again?

And - slightly off topic - What will happen to Narcissa at the hands 
of Voldermort? Will she be punished for making the UV or not?

Apologies if this all has been said before, if so please direct me 
to the post/s as i couldn't find any! thanks.

Look forward to reading your views,
