I've entertained the possibility that the Imperius curse was
never taken off Ron, but I always get stuck with this
theory, because I don't know enough about how the curse
actually works.

If you imperio someone, do you have to be with them the
whole time and control all their actions?

Or can they be left under it for long periods of time and
act perfectly normal, not showing any signs of being under
the curse and not realizing something is up with them?

And then, when you want them to do something, you can just
tell them?

And what if somebody else gives them a command? Do they only
follow the directions given by the person who imperiod them?

Can the curse be taken off by anyone?

I'll have to read the pertinent sections in the books again
to find out more...
