I disagree completely. Crouch stayed in disguise an entire year, 
think of how much dedication that takes. He has to continuously cut 
the real Moody's hair and feed him, while brewing a complicated 
potion, simply so that his master can kill a 14 year old boy who has 
never hurt an innocent fly. Are these the actions of a man who feels 
remorse for what he has done? What about after he was forced to take 
the vertasirum? He smiles when he thinks about his master rewarding, 
and while he is under it, he also tells of how he has ALWAYS been 
loyal to Voldemort and still is. Why would he teach Harry something 
that he knows might help Harry against Voldemort? Simple really, DD 
told him to. He says in the class that he is supposed to only teach 
them the theory behind the curses, but DD told him to show the kids 
what they look like. Would a guy who is posing as DD friend refuse 
an order from DD? I do not think so. Plus DD is the most powerful 
wizard alive at the time the curse is show, would you want to cross 
him either? Further if you reread crouch's trial, he appeals to his 
father to save him from azkaban, not because he feels remorse for 
what he did, but because he is afraid. He doesn't say that he is 
sorry for what he has done, but he denies that he did it. He lies to 
his father in order escape punishment that he deserves. If one feels 
remorse, usually acceptance of punishment follows. It is justice 
that he receives the cruse because he was always evil. Even when his 
plan failed he was going to kill Harry. Remorse? I do not buy it. 

John, who thinks if crouch can stay evil at a place like hogwarts 
that is full with wonderful, he deserved what he got.
