>1. Why oh why did Crouch Jr.-as-Moody teach Harry to resist the
>Imperius Charm in the 4th year DADA lessons?
<SNIP>

Well my theory has always been that Barty thought that no one deserves to be 
under the Imperius. I mean he'd been under it for YEARS. So he probably had 
this strange need to make sure it didn't happen to someone else. Maybe he 
even saw it as getting back at his father in some way (As we see at the end, 
Barty isn't exactly mentally stable).

Look how upset he gets at the kids in DADA after he performs Imperius on the 
spider:

"Everyone was laughing - everyone except Moody.
'Think it's funny, do you?' he growled. 'You'd like it, would you, if I did 
it to you?'" (GoF, ch 14)


>2. Was there a House Cup at all in the fourth year?
<SNIP>

No, it was not done out of respect for Cedric. I also think JKR is trying to 
show that things are changing. The House Cup was something we knew we were 
going to have, because we had the last three years. Now that's gone. In fact 
I bet it won't come back till book 7 if at all.
