Crouch!Moody and the Unforgivables

I am currently rereading my copy of GoF, and have just finnished the 
chapter (chapter 15, Beaxbatons and Durmstrang) where Crouch!Moody 
teaches Harry and his DADA class about the Imperius curse, and had 
put each of them under it in turn. This is also where Harry learns 
to resist the curse, which will come in handy later when he finally 
duels LV in the graveyard. After Harry throws off the curse for the 
first time, Crouch!Moody makes an interesting comment, and I 
quote: "Very good, Potter, very good indeed! "They'll have trouble 
controlling you!" (page 232, American hardcover). Here's my 
question: who on earth is the "them" he's talking about? Now there 
has, of course, been endless speculation about Crouch!Moody's 
reasons for teaching this particualr curse and, more importantly how 
to resist it, from a personal distaste for the Imperius curse too 
merely keeping up appearances for DD (and I have searched as best I 
could through the Yahoo search engine for posts on this particualr 
subject and didn't find anything close to what I'm thinking). But 
something hit me tonight. What if, in the vein of many classic right-
hand men, Crouch!Moody had his own designs on LV's power? I know 
that he will state while under the veritaserum that he will be 
closer than a son to LV, but that doesn't mean that he didn't have 
ambitions of his own, and he allready showed that he was capable of 
killing a (admittedly despised) father. Perhaps, if DD and the 
others hadn't busted in on him and Harry in the Veritaserum chapter 
(after LV's rebirth and Cedric's death) he would, like LV in SS, 
have asked Harry to join him? Asked Harry to be his right hand man? 
I know, I know it's crazy, but could the "them" refer not to DE's, 
but DD? And Crouch wanted to prevent Harry from being manipulated by 
the side of good as much as the dark side? We know that he was 
kissed by a dementor (dementorized?) but where has his body gone? Is 
recovery possible? Will Crouch be back to challenge LV? Or am I 
completely cracked? Feel free to crush my rantings to bits. 

Meri - who's attempts at theorization are completely lame to the 
much more esteemed memebers of TBAY...
