believe the rumor that Book 4 was going to be HP and the Doomspell 
Tournament containing Davey Gudgeon and his magic eye as the new DADA 
teacher, but she changed the names because she resented the 
information having been leaked. "Almost lost an eye" would then have 
been a precursor to That Eye. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I believe this one, too; I soo much prefer Doomspell to Triwizard or 
Goblet of Fire.  This does however really jack with my image of ME 
Moody, though.  I see him as at least McG's age, if not older, as 
he's a friend of Dumble's.  I know there's no reason for this image, 
that's just how I see him.  (I think someone suggesting Anthony 
Hopkins for Moody has something to do with it as well; I love this 
suggestion, as it's perhaps the closest an actor's matched my own 
image of one of the characters--picture him with the hair he had 
in "Zorro".)  If Davey Gudgeon is the 'original' (in JKR's plan) ME 
Moody, though, this would make him a contemporary of the Marauders' 
and I absolutely cannot imagine him that young.  Was it ever noted in 
GoF how old Moody appeared to be?  There's just no way I can see him 
in his thirties in this book...
