Okay, I know we often preface postings with "I hope this hasn't been 
discussed a gazillion times before," but... here goes anyway!

I was just listening to my audio version of GoF (Dale), and I am up to  
the part where Mad-Eye teaches the Imperius Curse to Harry and his 
Gryffindor housemates.  If Mad-Eye is not really Mad-Eye, but Death 
Eater Barty Crouch, Jr, then why would he want anyone from Gryffindor 
to be able to throw off the curse?  Why did he teach it to them?

That scene has been bothering me since I finished reading GoF for the 
first time.  Does anyone have any thoughts about this?
