Great Post! And I agree...so all I have to add regarding Moody, is that
he's one of my favorite characters. Even though the character was saw
was an imposter, Rowling has stated that the real Moody is even
"cooler"! I can hardly wait!

I don't think the gleam of triumph was a hint in the other direction,
and here's why. When Crouch questioned Harry, he "hissed" when he found
out that V had taken Harry's blood. So my logic is as follows. Crouch is
on V's side, and must've have seen an problem with taking Harry's blood,
why would he hiss otherwise? So if crouch is bad, and he thought it was
bad for V to take Harry's blood, then Dumbledore's triumph must mean
that it's good for his team that V took Harry's blood. If taking Harry's
blood is actually bad for V then it explains both sides. And if D were
really on the bad side, then he would've hissed too.

I also take it on faith that Rowling truly meant what she said...D is
the epitome of good. 

Does that make sense?
