I have always wondered if Dumbledore truly wanted Moody to teach the fourth
years the Unforgivable Curses.  We only have Crouch!Moody's word that D
wanted this done.  He may have had his own reasons for wanting to
demonstrate the Unforgivables.  Do we have anything in canon that backs up D
sanctioning the teaching of Unforgivables to this section of students?
