I know someone else already answered this and said that Crouch!Moody 
would be good at DADA because of his experiences in the Dark Arts.  
Crouch himself was a very loyal DE to Voldemort, so there's his 
experience.  Also, Crouch had to keep up the appearance of Moody- and 
Moody was an Aurora, so naturally he would kow lots about the Dark 
Arts, and the Unforgivable Curses.  Therefore, he has to keep up the 
role of a good DADA teacher.

Hey now, if you're gonna feel sorry for the Boggart and the 
Grindylow, then what about those poor Flubberworms?  They died from 
too much lettuce...what a sad way to go. =P

And also, if you want to get technical, Lupin doesn't kill the 
Boggart in the wardrobe- Neville does.  And it's not like he acted 
alone:  the whole class was there wearing out the Boggart until 
Nevill finally finished it off.

Anyways, who's to say Lupin didn't get the Grindylow from the lake 
and afterwards returned it there?

And how does he save Harry, exactly?  Harry is in no danger from 
Sirius.

Plus, I still don't see a clear motive for Lupin to kill Sirius. You 
said: <>And Voldemort sends Lupin to find and murder Sirius who 
killed his servant Peter.<>  But as already said, why would Voldemort 
waste all that effort on Peter Pettigrew, sniveling rat we see him to 
be?  And Voldemort's actions in GoF to Peter certainly show no trace 
of fondness.

That's a rather shaky plan, don't you think?  What if Snape comes to 
give him the Potion after he's already disappeared off the map inside 
the Shack?  And why would he want Snape following him anyways...  He 
knows Snape just can't mind his own business, but he also knows how 
smart and cunning Snape is- why would he just invite someone who 
could be that dangerous to his plans along?  

Pippin: <>As soon as the moon comes out, Lupin will transform and 
kill 
them, all except Harry. Yes, even under the influence of the 
potion, because, alas! Lupin's human mind is just as twisted 
and evil as his werewolf one. "It is our choices, not our 
abilities..."<>

Well, that's certainly overly believing in one's abilities.  Lupin 
thinks he can take on two full fledged wizards plus three in training
(Harry certainly isn't going to stand by and watch his friends die)?  
Hmm...and all in werewolf form, you say?  Well, that's certainly 
something.
