Then I remembered the polyjuice potion.  I guess one could argue that
the magical principles are not the same, since the polyjuice is making
Harry into Goyle, a totally different person, not just changing his
features around.

Carol:
Harry retains his own mind, memories, and personality when he takes
the polyjuice potion, as does Ron. They have to *pretend* to be Crabbe
and Goyle. And Barty Crouch has to take on a much more extended
masquerade, pretending to be Mad-Eye Moody for about nine months. He
has to force the real Moody (using the Imperius curse) to reveal his
memories, habits, etc., so he can imitatte them. Polyjuice doesn't
turn Crouch into Moody. It only enables him to sound and look like
him, and to use his false leg and magical eye. The real Moody and the
real Crabbe and Goyle still exist; they aren't replaced by their
imitators. So do the real Harry and Ron and Barty, Jr. They only look
and sound like someone else, but they're still the same people they
always were.
