Iggy here:

This statement actually brings up another interesting question for me...

If it's stated in PoA that nobody truly knows what an 'uninfluenced' boggart
looks like,

and a boggart needs to be near a person to manifest their fear...

How did Moody know it was a boggart when he used his magic eye to look at
the one Mrs. Weasley later tried to get rid of if nobody knows what they
look like when 'uninfluenced'?  (I'm assuming, of course, that a boggart
can't manifest a fear when a person looks at it through a series of walls,
floors, and the sides of it's hidey-hole...)
