Potioncat:
I think it was more a comment on curriculum than that he would be 
the one to teach it. And in a way it fits with Umbridge, the 
following year,  saying that the MoM didn't want Snape teaching such 
advanced potions.

 Another thread was hashing over whether DD approved or knew that 
Unforgivables were being taught.  It might make sense that Illegal 
Dark curses would be demonstrated to NEWT students. These students 
are possibly going to be aurors or healers and will need to know 
about them. Aren't we told that that the restricted section of the 
library had dark art material for the 6th and 7th year classes?
So "if" Crouch!Moody is telling the truth, NEWT students learn about 
dark curses but does that include unforgivables?
 
Sorry if I turned your post into something else.  It's just sort of 
interesting how one thought leads to another.
