This point has been brought out before and I don't think Moody taught 
him anything about the imperious curse because you can't teach what 
you don't know. The fake Moody (and the real one too) took years to 
overcome the imperious curse and even then were only partially 
successful. Crouch senior, a pretty formidable character also, found 
it enormously difficult to resist. Harry, just a 14 year old boy, 
defeated the Imperious Curse completely in just a few minutes on only 
his second try. For some reason the curse was kid stuff to Harry, he 
wasn't taught how, it just came naturally, resisting it was easy.

He was just a good actor, I doubt he was really pleased at Harry's 
Strength.
