Okay, I have one problem with this.  There's both Barty Crouch Sr and Jr
with the Imperius Curse.  It took Jr years to break it, whereas Sr broke it
in a matter of months.

I believe that is the only place where a father/son were both under the
Imperius curse, albeit at different times and different people's curse.  I
am still a bit confused how one maintains an Imperius curse from miles and
miles away.  Can the same thing be true for other curses?  The Crucio
perhaps?  Can you crucio someone, apparate away, and them still be tortured?
