The Secret Life of Arthur Weasley?

Forgive me if this has been discussed, but with all the other 
character discussions, something in me is screaming out for this 
lovable guy to be discussed.  A few questions to get the ball 
rolling...

Does anyone else think that possibly, Arthur Weasley is connected to 
the Imperius Curse?  After all, Ron knew it right away, and I can't 
help but wonder if it was from more then just the fact that the 
Ministry had problems with it.  Could this have something to do with 
the fact that the Weasley's are poor?

Also, I've always thought that Mr. Weasley seems to know an awful lot 
for the Ministry position he has.  I mean, think about all the stuff 
Ron knows 'because dad is in the ministry.'
(in no particular order, since my brain is rather fried)
-He knows that Harry got an official warning about magic use
-He knows that Harry's aunt was blown up(ok, this one might be 
somewhat in his department, but he still knows about it rather 
quickly)
-He knows about the triwizard tournament
-I think he knows what that Moody was to be teaching at Hogwarts

Not to mention the tickets they got for the Quidditch World Cup, and 
I know I've forgotten some.

In any case, has anyone ever wondered if there might be more to 
Arthur Weasley then meets the eye?
