This just occured to me- If I remeber correctly Lupin said in PoA no
one really knows what a boggart's true form is because anytime
they're in the presence of people, they take the shape of the
person's worst fear. Well, when Molly asked Moody to have a look in
the writing desk with his magical eye and tell them what was in it,
the boggart was in another room, one floor above them. It wasn't
actually exposed to Moody to change form, so does that mean Moody
knows what it actualy looks like? I mean, it has to be right in
front of the person, right? Lupin didn't make it say all the wizard
has to do is see it, he made it seem the boggart had to be next to
the person to feel their fear.
This has been nagging me ever since I made the "connection", if you
can call it that. Had to let it out.
