Não estou totalmente convencido de que foi para isso que Crouch os odiou; considere o que ele diz para Harry perto do fim (ênfase minha):
"I asked you," said Moody quietly, "whether [Voldemort] forgave the scum who never even went to look for him. Those treacherous cowards who wouldn't even brave Azkaban for him. The faithless, worthless bits of filth who were brave enough to cavort in masks at the Quidditch World Cup, but fled at the sight of the Dark Mark when I fired it into the sky."
"You fired... What are you talking about...?"
"I told you Harry... I told you. If there's one thing I hate more than any other, it's a Death Eater who walked free. They turned their backs on my master when he needed them most. I expected him to punish them. I expected him to torture them. Tell me he hurt them, Harry..." Moody's face was suddenly lit with an insane smile. "Tell me he told them that I, I alone remained faithful... prepared to risk everything to deliver to him the one thing he wanted above all... you."
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Chapter 35: "Vertiaserum"
A ira de Crouch parece mais dirigida a pessoas como Lucius Malfoy e Igor Karkaroff, que subornaram Azkaban e basicamente abandonaram Voldemort, mais ou menos assimilando a sociedade educada.
Vale a pena notar que o próprio Voldemort faz críticas semelhantes aos outros Comensais da Morte durante a sua festa de renascimento:"I smell guilt," [Voldemort] said. "There is a stench of guilt upon the air."
A second shiver ran around the circle, as though each member of it longed, but did not dare to step back from him.
"I see you all, whole and healthy, with your powers intact - such prompt appearances! And I ask myself... why did this band of wizards never come to the aid of their master, to whom they swore eternal loyalty?"
[...]
"It is a disappointment to me... I confess myself disappointed..."
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Chapter 33: "The Death Eaters"
Embora eu concorde com Rand al'Thor que, na época de seu julgamento, Crouch provavelmente estava com medo fora do juízo, na hora do Cálice de Fogo, suspeito que ele tenha racionalizado seu comportamento para si mesmo; em sua mente, ele estava presumivelmente usando todos os recursos disponíveis para ele permanecer livre, para que ele pudesse continuar a busca por Voldemort.
Tenho certeza de que tudo faz muito sentido para ele, o que francamente é a coisa mais contundente que posso dizer sobre isso.
