Hello, all...I'm a newbie here.

As far as the Unforgivables teaching is concerned, I've always been of the opinion that Moody!Crouch Jr. was simply giving the most accurate "Mad-Eye" performance he could.  Dumbledore knows Moody incredibly well, and therefore Crouch had to teach this specific subject (and all others, of course) in a Moody enough manner so as not to arouse suspicion.  Dumbledore picked up on Moody!Crouch Jr.'s secret identity right away when  he (Crouch) didn't bring Harry to him (Dumbledore) immediately after the Tournament.  Why wouldn't DD have picked up on it if M!C Jr. had balked at teaching them how to resist Imperius?  For M!C Jr, seeing Harry and Neville in pain was probably just an added benefit to playing his role extra well...twisted, sick creep that he is...
