Don't forget Harry did throw it off when Voldemort cast it.  In the
graveyard in GoF.  When Voldemort tried to get Harry to say "No" that he
didn't want Voldemort to Crucio him again.  And Harry resisted, and yelled
"I won't!" instead.  Quite embarassing for Voldemort, that was. :)

Anyway, that point aside, I do think that it's possible someone is under the
Imperius curse even now.  Tonks, perhaps.  That's the only thing I could
connect her clumbsiness to.  She has tried to get close to Harry, little
things that by themselves don't mean anything, but combined could add up to
something bigger.  And during the battle in the MoM, she got put away
awfully quick, for an auror and all.  I definitely think something is fishy
there.
