There has been lots of discussion about the parallelism in the
scene where Moody shows Harry's class the unforgivable curses. In
fact it is one of the major canons for both imperius!Arthur and
imperius!Molly.
The theory being Moody highlighted Neville with the cruciatus curse
because of his parents and he highlighted Harry with the AK because
of his parents and therefore as he highlighted Ron with the imperius
curse Ron's parents must have had experience with it to keep the
parallelism.
However the two theories focus on either Molly or Arthur being
effected by it.
However:
Neville was highlighted with the cruciatus curse because BOTH his
parents are in St Mungos because they were BOTH attacked by the curse.
Harry was highlighted with AK because BOTH his parents are dead
because they were BOTH attacked by AK.
Therefore for the parallelism to truly exist in this scene Moody must
have highlighted Ron because BOTH his parents were placed under the
imperius curse.
Look at what Moody says about the imperius curse shortly after
acknowledging that Ron's Dad would know that one
"Years back there were a lot of witches and wizards being controlled
by the imperius curse"
Why highlight both witches and wizards why not say a lot of people
were
surely muggles were also affected by this curse?
I propose that imperius!Molly and imperius!Arthur are not mutually
exclusive.
And continuing with the parallelism and looking at the time spans in
the other cases:
There isn't much of a gap (minutes maybe) between James and Lily
being killed/ attacked with the AK.
It also seems that Neville's parents were attacked with the crucio at
the same time.
I believe that Molly and Arthur would have been both attacked with
the imperius within a short time span of each other (if not at the
same time).
Now all we need is an acronym How about
ICE CREAM
Imperius Curse Enslaving Controlled Reluctantly Ensnared Arthur &
Molly
Not bad for my first acronym (even if I do say so myself)
