Hey, you know, this is reminding me of something I used to do when I was younger and more anxious about things... What I would do is focus on worst possible scenario that my imagination could conjure up, and then really study it to see if it were plausible or not.
So, if we took that route, what could possibly go wrong?
1 - It's all a trick that Umbridge is pulling just to get Raz and Dolohov to kill each other off so that she can be in charge of Hogwarts completely, re-decorating everything so that it's pink and fuzzy and throws up hairballs.
No, can't be that: if she wanted to get rid of them she could just drive them mental by talking at them until they decided to chunk themselves into the lake and make a dramatic exit from this mortal coil as squid food.
2 - Dolohov is actually Sinbad, Snape, or some other old bloke who's unnaturally obsessed with you - in disguise, of course - and has some plan to render Raz hospitalised (again) and then flee away with you on a mental Hippogriff.
Also not likely to happen, but if it does, have fun and don't forget to write.
3 - Dolohov is possessed by the ghosts of the Carrows and they will take their revenge during the demonstration.
Don't think so: Dolohov is far too good at coming across as an actual human for that to be the case. Plus, we'd have smelled something fetid and rotten by now.
4 - Your Father's going to show up and join in the fight so that things take a most serious turn.
I don't think it's likely - I really don't. And if by chance it did happen.. I think Raz and Dolohov would know what to do. Plus, when's the last time your Father just "dropped by" the Castle? Every time he shows up it's a big production, right?

So yeah, I think we'll be okay.
