More to the point. Crouch, not really Moody, is really quite
anxious that no one will suspect that he is not really Moody, but
in fact an imposter. He must act exactly as Moody would act. How he 
behaves at Hogwarts is irrelevant (as long as he doesn't get caught) 
if he accomplishes his task --
to ensure that Harry is safely delivered to Voldemort. He does NOT
want anyone else killing or hurting Harry, because Voldemort 
needs/wants Harry for the reanimation spell. Who said that Lucifer, 
if forced to assume the role of God, would eventually become God? 
Milton? (help, someone)So Crouch acts as Moody would have acted.
My question is: would Moody really have bounced Malfoy? The 
adolescent impulsive let's get revenge person in all of us says YES...
After all, Moody disliked Malfoy senior and junior as much as Crouch 
did (a death eater who walked free).

If he delivers Harry, Crouch knows that Voldemort will kill Harry.
Whether Crouch teaches Harry to successfully avoid the Imperius Curse
is irrelevant. Harry will go to Voldemort and Harry will give his 
blood for the successful reanimation and then Harry will die. Even if 
he does not, Crouch will have succeeded, he will have done what
Voldemort wanted, and Crouch will have demonstrated his loyalty and 
efficiency to his real, true father -- Voldemort.

So he practices the Imperius curse with all the class, finds that
HP can resist it the most, and stays in character -- practices with 
Harry so that Harry can resist it more.
