Mandy here:
It certainly does explain everything and it's a very good post too.  
Thanks for the link, it was before my time here on HPforGU.

If Arthur was indeed under the Imperious during LV first reign, it 
would explain so much about his relationship with Lucius and his 
fear of the Dark Mark appearing in the sky at the Quidditch World 
Cup. Especially if Arthur had been involved in an action where the 
Mark was left over some poor Wizarding house.  

I can't imagine the guilt those forced to do heinous deeds under the 
Imperious must feel.  Arthur, seems so eager to please by working so 
hard for little reward.  Is he trying to repay a debt he feels he 
owes society for bad deeds?

I love getting new theories (new to me) to think about.

Cheers Mandy
