JKR "faked" us out, knowing we would not suspect that, for a second time,
the DADA professor would be the hidden traitor.  In the wake of Prof. Lupin,
we were also getting comfortable with the idea of knowledgble trustworthy
DADA profs. Also, he was attested for by Dumbledore and other faculty
members as a mighty warrior against the Dark Lords.

Remember too that in Chapter 30, we do see the "real" Moody (at least Moody
in Dumbledore's  presumably accurate memory) when Harry witnesses the
Anti-Voldy purges.  This also serves to reinforce the idea that Moody was an
ally of long-standing.
