Okay, let me put it another way --

 "Have you ever hear of a plan where so many things could go wrong?"  
(CoS Ch12)

I can very well believe Pettigrew's story above because it just 
happened without anybody planning it.  Life does get complicated 
sometimes.  I draw the line at convoluted schemes.   

So howabout pseudo-Moody, you ask?  I don't know.  How Bart Jr 
managed to hood-wink Dumbledore for an entire school-year is beyond 
me.
