Bren now:

Hehe, good for you!! I usually stay absolutely clueless during the 
reading and once I find out everything then I start making up 
conspiracty theories. Lol. I didn't suspect Moody because DD trusted 
him in GoF, and he was the best Auror the Ministry ever had, I just 
didn't think to suspect him.

Now I know "Dumbledore trusts him" can't be the final statement on 
some fishy characters.

I wonder if *anyone* guessed Crouch was alive and impersonating 
Moody??
