	I'm wondering if Dumbledore really didn't fool himself...maybe 
Crouch's Moody was more like the old Moody, the one we met in the 
Penseive, than the real, mentally-damaged Moody was capable of being. 
It could Dumbledore was  in denial about the real Moody's paranoia and 
wanted to believe his friend had recovered. Does this make any sense?
