Fake!Moody and the Unforgiveable Curses

Hey everyone -

Happy New Year to all of you HP fans everywhere!  Here is something I 
thought of while I was rereading GoF last night for the 7454th time.  
Of course, it is entirely possible that someone else has already 
thought of this and if that is the case, I am sorry.  Anyway, here 
goes:

For a long time I wondered why Crouch-as-Moody would teach the 
Unforgiveables to the students of Hogwarts.  Wouldn't he be hurting 
the DE cause?  Maybe not!  I suddenly realized that perhaps Fake!Moody 
taught the Unforgiveables to Hogwarts students as a way of testing 
them.  Once he got a sense of how each student reacted, he then passed 
on the information to existing DEs and to Voldemort himself.  For 
example, we all know that Ron does not respond well to Imperius and 
many of us wonder if it will be used on him in the future.  
Crouch-as-Moody could be the one to start the chain that will lead to 
Imperius!Ron.

Really, it is an extremely clever way to have access to all the kids 
at Hogwarts.  Once Voldemort and his followers have all the notes on 
the kids, they can then even access the parents as well, if they 
choose.  The fact that Harry learned to throw the Imperius Curse 
strays a bit from my theory, but perhaps young Crouch warned Voldemort 
to use his very best and strongest Imperius he could muster.  I'll 
just chalk that up to Harry surprising them all.
