In canon, there is a statement that Moody had killed death eaters, 
and I used that canon statement as the basis for a paragraph in my 
fanfic, A Surfeit of Curses (Snape is speaking to Draco here, right 
after the Ferret Incident):

The Professor didn't answer the question directly, but just 
said, "Since you know all those things,, then you've probably also 
figured out why Moody was so harsh with you before, and with me. 
Anyone who was involved with You Know Who, even if they were under 
the Imperius Curse, Moody thinks of as a Death Eater. He'd have all 
those people in Azkaban if he had his way. He killed Death Eaters, 
those who were supporting You Know Who out of their own free will, 
and those who were under various curses and potions." Draco noticed 
that Professor Snape rubbed his arm again, the same way he had 
earlier. "And because of that, it certainly looks like he has it in 
for you. Please, Draco, tell me if he treats you differently than any 
other Slytherin. I am sure Moody is going to keep a close eye on 
certain of my students, including you, so stay away from Potter and 
Weasley this year as well. If you see them up to their usual hijinks, 
don't confront them – just tell me."

I will look through GoF tonight, but if my memory is correct on this, 
Sirius is the one who said it...
