One thing I realized is that Dumbledore was (IMHO) starting to figure 
out what was going on with Moody.

In "the pensive" (forgive me for not remembering the chapter) in GOF, 
after Harry has witnessed not only the trials of Barty Crouch, Ludo 
Bagman and Karkarof, Dumbledore goes onto explain that the pensive 
allows him to go through his memories to find "links and patterns".

Due to him sitting right next to Moody during each of those memories 
as well as linking it to crouch may have been to explore the links 
and patterns applying to Moody not just Crouch.
