But catlady,

If Moody clearly discovered that Harry could resist Imperious, why did
Voldy try the curse on Harry later? Did Moody forget to tell Voldy about
Harry's immunity to Imperius? Did Voldy think he could still execute
the curse even though Harry had resisted it in the past?

This last suggestion seems plausible -- Voldy is certainly prone to
overestimating his power, skill and ability (one of his consistent
downfalls), and even if Moody had told him that Imperius wouldn't work
on Harry, Voldy probably blew it off and said "*I* could make the curse
work on that pathetic little boy"

Thank goodness he's always underestimating Harry, it seems to be the
only way Harry keeps surviving these battles with him!
