What, Lord (Harry) Potter against Lord Lucius Malfoy? What a fine trial by combat that would be.

No, they'd be allowed champions, and Dumbledore would win.

If it were that easy, Lucius couldn't contest Dumbledore politically. I suppose the Wizengamot would have to rule to adjudicate by combat, and they won't in an apparently clearcut murder attempt case.

Well, for underage wizards, they get a champion, obviously. Dumbledore or Quirrel, I'd assume.
