*delurk and imperius curse*

Sorry to be harking back to an old message - I'm a newbie, and 
haven't seen this as an answer to a supposed inconsistency.

When we are told that Harry felt "for the 3rd time in his life the 
sensation that his mind had been wiped of all thought". This does not 
mean that he was being subjected to the Imperius course for the 3rd 
time.

In addition to being put under the curse by Crouch, Harry was also 
very affected by the Veela when he first saw them. On p.94 of GoF JKR 
tells us that "Harry's mind had gone completely and blissfully blank"

To me, this would seem to be the first occasion when his mind went 
blank, followed by the Crouch episode (when he in fact was placed 
under the curse a few times), and then correctly, for the 3rd time 
under the Imperius Curse be Voldemort.

Does anyone else agree that this is a solutiion to a supposed 
inconsistency?
