I have wondered, for some time, why FakeMoody spend so much time 
teaching the Unforgivable Curses.  He insisted Harry keep trying to
shake off the Imperious curse...put him under it four times until 
he could get out of it completely.  


CRobo comments:

I had thought perhaps FakeMoody wanted to tempt Harry with the 
curses in the hope that Harry would *like* the dark arts and perhaps 
want to join Voldemort.  [In SS, Voldemort encouraged Harry to join 
him - although perhaps it was nothing more than a ruse to get the 
stone.]

Iain now:
 
            To be fair to him, it seems to have had an effect as Harry
resorts to an UC in OoTP when he’s angry. Perhaps this is largely
attributably to the seed sown by Crouch Jr in GoF?
 
            Oh, and hello.
