Potioncat:
How do we know that Crouch/Moody was telling the truth?  Maybe it 
wasn't normally a part of the cirriculum, maybe DD didn't know he was 
teaching it. Or if it was part of the cirriculum, maybe it wasn't a 
given that the Hogwarts teacher would demonstrate it him/herself.

In the RW there are things policemen and soldiers have to know how to 
do or how to defend against.  That doesn't make them or their 
instructors evil.
