Of course somebody else already did this, none other than Barty 
Crouch Jr. himself, who managed to fool Dumbledore, who can 
also read minds,  into thinking he was Mad-eye. It would certainly 
be fitting  to play the same trick on LV... but I see another 
problem. Fudge will certainly have told Lucius Malfoy what 
happened to Barty Jr., so how could it remain a secret from LV?
