Dicentra, having gone back to GoF, realizes that the part about "third
time in his life" is NOT in the scene when Moody first puts the
Imperio on Harry.  She curses herself for not having looked at the
source before making assumptions--thinking somehow that Harry had
experienced a mind-clearing BEFORE Moody first Imperio'ed him, which
might indicate someone messing with Harry in the past.  It looked like
a red flag to her, but it was not.

She looks back over at Debbie, whose startled expression has turned
apologetic, and then notices one tear trickling out of her eye.  She
realizes that Debbie thinks the red flag is marking a violation on
Debbie's part--one step further than a yellow flag.

"Oh, no!" says Dicentra. "No, that's not it.  That wasn't aimed at
you. That was me saying 'this looks suspicious, but I can't look for
the other instances and then come up with a sinister theory.'" She
gives Debbie a hug and hopes she will forgive her for flagging and
running.
