It makes me wonder about the effects of using a Polyjuice Potion
long-term, and how much of the false "Moody" actually =was= Moody
and not an act.  Harry and Ron only stayed in Crabbe and Goyle
form for an hour.  What would have happened if they'd kept it
up?  Would they start "being" Crabbe and Goyle in more than just
outward form?
