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.

I think that Harry, Ron, and Hermione, are going to start using the penseive in book 6 and 7.  I think they are going to over some key events from the last books to find as DD says: "links and patterns."  <snip> They may see things they missed the first time around...

I'd disagree with both points - DD got blindsided with Moody!Crouch up to the very end. I thought there might be an opportunity for Harry (or DD) to take some part of those recalled memory-scenes to use in conversation with Moody!Crouch, but it never happens. Barty plays the part to the hilt. You'd think DD would have been watching VERY CLOSELY during the final Triwizard test, but he didn't catch on that Barty was up to something until the moment he waltzes Harry off the green.  On the second item, I (respectfully!) don't see the trio being permitted the use of the Penseive either. Their interactions are their key to finding links and patterns! It would be a diminishment of the story line to give them such a convenient tool for memory mixing (what memories do they have/share that could be combined to such a purpose anyway?).
