One clue about Moody/Crouch's identity that I didn't pick up till I 
re-read GoF, is that he never utters the name Voldemort.  I could see 
him not using it in class so as not to unduly alarm students (Lupin 
didn't either), but he never uses it in conversation with Harry.  
The "real" Moody doesn't utter the name in the pensieve chapter, but 
does not use any of the euphemisms, either.
