Beg your pardon, heidi, but you are mistaken. The curse in question
was indeed Imperius, but Voldy also performed the Cruciatus curse on
Harry, first.

Then, while Harry was incapacitated from the pain, Voldy attempted to
force Harry to admit the pain was too much for him to bear, by using
the Imperius curse. His attempt was foiled when Harry refused to allow
the curse to dominate his thoughts and actions.

So, the proposition that Moody tested out Imperius on Harry to see how
he would respond, in order to tell Voldy about Harry's reaction, can't
be the case. If Moody had really told Voldy about Harry's ability to
resist Imperius, the Dark Lord wouldn't have attempted that curse at all.
