(my second post in a day - good start!)
And these two paragraphs finally clicked something in my head to make  me 
wonder out loud why in all hells Crouch Jr. would WANT to teach Harry how 
to defend against the Imperious curse (in GoF when "masked" as Moody).  
Has this been addressed long before my time?  Do we think he was actually 
trying to gain control of Harry and failed?  But he ran Harry through it 
several times, if I remember correctly, which may have led directly to 
Voldy's failure in the graveyard.  *puzzlement*
