  I have to admit to being totally in the dark about Moody.  Yes, the 
ferret-bouncing was extreme, but we didn't really know Moody yet.  It may 
have been totally in character for him.  he is, after all, MAD-Eye Moody.  I 
just assumed he acted first and thought later.  Passionate people are like 
that sometimes!  I know Dumbledore wouldn't hire a teacher if he wouls be a 
danger to the students, but the ferret episode didn't cause Dumbledore to be 
on his guard, so it couldn't have been too out of character for Moody.  Maybe 
he's impulsive!   Anyway, it didn't tip me off at all!  I loved it!
