If this is real, why doesn't Dumbledore cure Lupin?

**Maybe the charm can only return the werewolf back to human form during the 
full moon, but doesn't get rid of the werewolf-like thoughts. Or maybe it 
only works for a limited time and you'd never know when it would stop 
working. Or maybe it is just *incredibly* painful and to do it over and over 
again would be simply too much for Lupin. It would probably just be easier 
to send him to the shrieking shack once a month and let the transformation 
run its course, with the help of the wolfsbane potion to keep the werewolf 
from being dangerous.  Wouldnt want to scare the kiddies by letting a 
werewolf (sane or not) run around during the full moon.

2.  Did Dumbledore *really* agree to the 4th years being taught about the 
Unforgivable Curses?

I kind of figured that Crouch worked it out with Dumbledore so that he could 
teach them about it because he wanted to *DO* them again without getting 
into trouble for it. One "Prior Incantato" on his wand and they could see 
he'd been 'practising'. But if he'd had permission to demonstrate on the 
spiders, and teach the kids to fight the Imperius curse, he could get his 
kicks out of it and not be punished.

3.  I know we've discussed this before, but there are some newcomers, 
so...why would Crouch-as-Moody teach them how to fight Imperious?

**I think he wanted to see how the kids could hold up under it. Especially 
Harry. If he knew any kids were especially good at throwing it off he could 
inform The Big V to recruit them. Obviously a child who can throw off an 
Unforgivable curse is very powerful, and would be either a threat or an 
asset to Voldy.  Also, like I said for #2, he probably enjoyed cursing 
things, and this would be good practice for when Voldemort was back in power 
and he had free reign.
