GOF, Harry's eyes and Moody, Neville and the Cruciatus Curse.

Hello.  I know there has been a lot of discussion about the 
importance of Harry's eye color.   I am reading GOF again and found a 
passage that mentions his eyes again, not the color though.  I don't 
know if this has any revelance to anything but I thought it was 
interesting.   On page 232 when Harry is the only one who is able to 
fight off the Imperius curse Moody says, "We'll try that again, 
Potter, and the rest of you, pay attention-watch his eyes, that's 
where you'll see it-very good Potter, very good indeed!"  This also 
has me wondering why Moody would even want to teach Harry that.  It 
seems like he wouldn't want him to have that much power.

I also thought it was interesting that Neville chose to bring up the 
Cruciatus curse considering it was the one used to torture his 
parents.  It was brought up a while ago that Neville may have 
remembered his parents being tortured and has a memory charm placed 
on him.  After class Neville was upset and his actions seemed like 
someone who had a memory charm placed on him. 
 
"Neville, are you all right?"  said Hermoine.
"Oh, yes. I'm fine," Neville gabbled in the same unnaturally high 
voice.  "Very interesting dinner-I mean lesson-what's for eating?"

I'm not saying he had the memory charm placed on him right then, but 
maybe seeing the Cruciatus curse performed brought back a memory of 
his parents and then the effects of the memory charm that was placed 
on him when he was a baby.  

The way he acted after the lesson reminded me a little bit of Mr. 
Roberts after he had his memory charm placed on him.
'Mr. Roberts had a strange, dazed look about him, and he waved them 
off with a vague,"Merry Christmas."  

Of course, Mr. Roberts had a very strong memory charm placed on him 
so he had a glazed look about him.  Neville's was performed years ago 
so his "flashback" wouldn't be as strong.
