My thought:
I like the idea, but they have to have a living person in able to perform
the polyjuice potion correct?  There was a line that I think supports this
from GoF when DD goes into Moody's trunk and finds the real Moody and says
"Stunned -- controlled by the Imperius Curse -- very weak," "Of course, they
would have needed to keep him alive." (us paperback pg 681).  One reason so
that Crouch Jr. can find out anything he needs to about Moody, but another
for the component for the Polyjuice Potion.

Just my thoughts, but the idea of Snape becoming Crouch Jr. would be
excellent if there were another way to do it because like Voldie said in the
graveyard, he knows one DE has left him forever and he will be killed (my
thoughts that he refers to Snape - see topic "Who will die in books 5, 6,
7") so Snape can't very well show his face to Voldie.

Just another random thought
