That makes sense.  Crouch certainly could have been the one continuing 
all MOM correspondences while under Imperius.  Here is what Percy 
wrote in a letter to Ron, though, in GoF, Ch. 28: "I think I can be 
trusted to know my own superior's handwriting".  

Even if it was Crouch's own handwriting on memos and such to Percy, I 
guess I still find it odd that he never thinks to question Crouch's 
long absence from work, other than to accept that Crouch (who seemed 
to be a workaholic by all standards) was "taking a well-deserved 
break".  Again, Percy doesn't even call Crouch on his mis-naming 
Percy; he simply accepts everything Crouch does and says.  

Every once in a while I see someone wearing the pin that says 
"Question Authority".  Percy would benefit from that pin's advice.

I wonder what people act like under Imperius - and how they seem to 
others.

Oh, and welcome back, Darrell!
