Evans was JKR's answer to an online interview question "What is Lily Potter's 
maiden name?"

The way I see Moody/Crouch now that I know he's not Moody, is regardless of who 
he was, he is a born teacher.  As a teacher, I know that some people are made 
to do it and some, well, aren't.  Moody/Crouch is a perfect example of a born 
teacher.  He taught interesting lessons, didn't beat around the bush with lots 
of fancy frills, but got right to the point, and made it a lesson they would 
never forget.

I also don't think he intended to teach the students to resist the Imperious 
Curse.  He saw a teachable moment and ran with it.  He hadn't expected Harry, 
or anyone else, for that matter, to resist his Imperious.  After all, it took 
him years.  And his father at least months.  But the point is, once he saw 
Harry resist, he couldn't stop there.  He had to know, he had to probe deeper 
and see if he could competely resist.  And he did.  Which was a phenomenal 
achievement.  As for teaching the other students, I don't think it can really 
be taught.  Moody/Crouch guided Harry's instinctual resistance, but he didn't 
really teach him to resist the Imperious.  Harry's resistance was just there.  
Naturally.

Hello everyone:  I have heard that Lilly's name is Evans a few times 
now I was just wondering where that comes from.  Also I belive the 
Potter's money was gotten by being Unspeakables.  That was a group of 
MoM workers Arthur mentioned in GoF.  Freya
