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.
