This topic I actually find very interesting, since I have spent much 
time thinking about that line in the book
"For a fleeting instant, Harry thought he saw a gleam of something 
like triumph in Dumbledore's eyes"
Many Many thoughts have come to my mind about that line, all of 
course seem very wild, until tonight, when reading this post.  A 
connection that I haven't made before, though it was right in front 
of me, I just couldn't see it.  Moody and Dumbledore must know one 
another very well, and since Dumbledore doesn't know Moody isn't 
Moody, but is in fact Crouch Jr, maybe it is possible that Dumbledore 
confinds things to Moody not only in this book, but purhaps in the 
past.  Therefore Crouch knows something, however why doesn't he tell 
You Know Who?  Leaves a person with much to think about.....
