I've read lost of posts re: Imposter!Moody, but so far no one seems 
to be talking about exactly what he taught those kids.  IMHO, I 
thought he was a good teacher!  He taught those kids a lot of 
practical stuff, dangerous or not. I realize Imposter!Moody had to 
keep HP alive til he could be delivered to LV, but would you really 
want your enemy to be knowledgeable and prepared to fight dark 
magic?  I mean, why teach Harry (and the other kids) to resist 
Imperio curses?  Why didn't Imposter!Moody just run around 
anonymously saving/protecting Harry whenever he was in danger, 
similar to Snape trying to help Harry stay on his broom in SS?  And 
why teach ALL the kids that stuff?  If Imposter!Moody wants LV to 
come back at full strength, obviously (presumably) to take over the 
WW, then why teach the younger generations to resist his evil 
influence?

K, another point. I really thought I!M seemed quite likable, and 
having said that, and I know this has been covered to some extent, 
I'd really like to see the Real Moody teach DADA in book 6.  Paranoid 
or no, Moody's an excellent Auror, and IIRC, isn't his personal claim 
to fame that he brought in a bunch of DE's without using 
Unforgivables, as in really battling them, hence all his scars, and 
the missing chunk from his nose? 

 Anyways, I think it would be great if the Real!Moody became the next 
DADA teacher.  I know that Alastor Moody already taught DADA, but 
technically, because he was I!M (Barty) then the Real one didn't, and 
therefore would be a new DADA teacher, conforming to the set pattern 
that no one ever teaches that class two years in a row.
