hadn't known and approved of the teaching plan, he'd have gone 
through the roof and thrown Crouch!Moody out. It would make sense for 
Dumbledore to have approved, and even asked Moody to perform Imperius 
on the students. It's not lethal, it's not painful. But it's 
something Dumbledore knew might be used on the students one day, and 
something they needed to know how to fight.

Geoff:
"I'm not supposed to show you what illegal Dark curses look like 
until you're in the sixth year. But Professor Dumbledore's got a 
higher opinion of your nerves, he reckons you can cope....." This 
is "Moody" talking to the group (GOF p.187 "The unforgiveable 
curses") So, it would seem that dealing with UCs was part of the 
curriculum.

This was also part of "Moody's" cover: "It hasn't been easy, Harry, 
guiding you through these tasks without arousing suspicion. I have 
had to use every ounce of cunning I possess, so that my hand would 
not be detectable in your success." (GOF p.587 "Veritaserum")
