The Tri-Wizard Championship and the Boy Who Lived!

My dearest readers, as we all know that just a scant few months ago it was announced that the Tri-Wizard Tournament was returning after almost two hundred years and that our very own Jewel of the Wixen world, Hogwarts, was going to host it! The Tournament was originally disbanded in 1792 due to the large death toll that had mounted up in the course of that year's championship(113 people including all 3 headmaster's at the time) but brought back this year with heavy restrictions placed on it, each of the three tasks has been gone over with a fine tooth comb and every detail discussed in depths with every eventuality gone over to protect those who was chosen as each of the school's champions, the guests and students watching, and the judges and deemed the safest the Tournament has ever been by all three ministry's that is involved, even the Champions who could be selected were restricted to only students over the age of 17. While the tasks remain a secret to all(Including each of the heads of each competing school) the champions are not.
They were each selected from the Goblet of Fire a little over two weeks ago during the aptly named "Selection Ceremony" on Samhain (Halloween for my muggleborn readers) the champions are as follows:
The Durmstrang Institute: Victor Krum, age: 17(as in the world-renowned seeker.)
Beauxbatons Academy of Magic: Fleur Delacour, age: 17(a half-Veela student.)
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry: Angeline Johnson, age: 17 (The daughter of none other than Eberta Johnson (Née Travers) the Ancient Magical Weapons curator of some world renown.)
The Hunters of Artemis: Harry Potter, Age: 14 (our very own Boy-Who-Lived.)
No, my dear readers, you did not miss count or misread a single line, there are in fact FOUR Champions, one well under the age limit of the guidelines of the tournament…

What in Merlin's name had happened that saw Harry in the Triwizard Tournament? How had he been entered? And why has none of her children written to her about this? She had told all of them to keep an eye out for Harry, to try and keep him out of trouble!
Well, it looks like she was going to have to write them herself and find out what the bloody hell was going on, especially Ronald.

Now, this brings up several questions that I will try and shine some light on if not outright answer in this article starting with the very obvious question of: How did Harry Potter enter his name in the Goblet of Fire?
For those not in the know, when the Goblet of Fire was set up to accept the name of all prospecting champions, an Age Line was drawn around the ancient artifact, while not an expert on wards or warding myself, I happen to know a few myself and when asking a Wardmaster about he had this to say:
