Sure, sure, but they thought Harry put in his own name, thus bypassing the age line, no? It's not a good look for one of the greatest wizards in the world to have his spellwork circumvented by a child. Besides, being able to put in other people's names so long as you can get your hand on their signature seems like a glaring issue, albeit one they're all responsible for. I certainly hope that was only possible due to the cup or the spells around it being tampered with, but that may well not be the case given the Wizarding World's casual disregard for safety.

Are you talking about in canon? Because the spell that he cast worked fine, it just didn't protect against one of the things they were trying to prevent. He set up an age line, and it worked exactly as intended, even to the point of protecting against people taking age-up potions. The name got in by a properly-of-age person putting in Harry's name for him under a fake school and Confunding the cup into forgetting only three schools participate. That's a failure of the enchantment on the cup, and on *all* committee members to consider all ways people could cheat the system.

Dumbledore is the kind of person who really tries to dig for answers when he is denied them. So just give him somethings to let him come to his own (incorrect) conclusions. The best result would be to let Albus think Harry has just reached his breaking point with dealing with crap every year. It is after all completely normal for people to have a certain limit of BS they can take before deciding they are just done with it. As far as he knows Harry has had to deal with years of BS at this point and it would be natural if a bit sudden to have a change in attitude after 3 years of crap. Of course we know this isn’t what is truly happening but Albus doesn’t. He still thinks that Harry is a young teenager after all. 😁

I never got why Dumbledore wasn't the one catching flak over the whole cup thing; he cast the spell that failed to regulate participation properly, after all. If a child managed to circumvent it, it wasn't good enough.

I could totally see this being how Harry does it

It would be fun to make it look like Rita seduce him and turned him against Dumbledore, by pointing out that Dumbledore is doing nothing to clear his name.
