I think that while Crouch was at Hogwart's he started to see the 
consequences of his actions, and acted toward rectification in some 
instances. After he saw Neville's reaction to the Cruciatus he took 
him and gave him a book he would enjoy and some praise.  Now mostly 
that is to help Harry get to Voldemort, but I think that there is a 
part of Crouch's brain not totally committed to evil, as though he 
were under a curse, that might still try to change things for which 
that part of him recognizes as his wrongdoing.  I don't think he is 
actually under a curse but maybe is suffering from some mental 
disorder, like bi-polar disorder or multiple personalities, and that 
the part of him that once was dominant is now trapped deep inside 
the Crouch that is so evil and against what he once was.

So about the Imperius, I think that the part of Crouch that sees his 
wrongdoing and feels remorse thinks that it would be unfair to send 
Harry to Voldemort unprepared, and since he cannot undo all that has 
been planned, he teaches Harry something to make the fight more fair.
