So now I have a question - why did Dumbledore summon Winky to witness 
Crouch Jr.'s confession?  All Winky did was cry.  She wasn't asked to 
confirm or deny any of what Crouch Jr. said (it would have been 
unnecessary, anyway, since the veritaserum forced him to tell the 
truth).  She knew the whole story already, so it can't be that she 
needed to hear the truth.  So what was the point of having Winky 
there?  I just don't get it.

I think that Dumbledore now knew why Winky came to work at Hogwarts.  And that was for the sole purpose of deception and he was mad.  Think about this, Dumbledore goes out on a limb to hire a fired house elf, who not only puts Harry in danger but the entire student body.  I think that Dumbledore kind of wanted to punish Winky seeing how she helped Crouch Jr. Mind you Jr. was the D.E. who tortured Neville Longbottoms parents and countless others, and he wanted to let her see the possibilities.   Wouldn't you be mad.  Ok if I'm way off tell me.
