  Ya know... Crouch!Moody was a "friend" to Harry - helped him with 
the tasks, gave him advice, didn't rat him out to Snape when he was 
stuck on the stairs under the invisibility cloak.  And Crouch!Moody 
definitely stabbed Harry in the back.

  Has anyone combed through the books in an attemt to enumerate how 
many of Ron's "fake" predictions have actually come true versus how 
many have failed?
