>> I realize that I don't really understand Igor. Does he believe as he states that Harry's participation in the tournament and the attack on Viktor were motivated by an attempt to snatch a deserved victory out of his student's hands or does he believe something more sinister is going on, something related to the darkening Mark on his arm? And why did he give Harry a mean look when he first saw him, before the Goblet situation? Shouldn't he have been grateful to the boy to whom he owed his freedom? Unless he thought it was proof Harry had lots of native Dark Magic? <<
It is clear I think that Karkaroff was a true supporter of Voldemort and wanted him to take over. But Harry is the unwitting cause of Voldemort's first downfall which had put Karkaroff at risk of being sent to Azkaban. Karkaroff only did a deal with Crouch to avoid Azkaban. Naturally Voldemort's possible resurgence unnerves him, because he had to renounce Voldemort and betray other Death Eaters in order to avoid Azkaban. He hates Harry for being the innocent cause of the hole he dug himself into. By JKR's standards it makes unusually good sense.
