In addition to your alternatives, it's possible that all the "extra 
paces" merged into one memory sensation, but somehow separate from the 
very first Imperio during class.  Sometimes memories run together in 
such a fashion, both to the person involved (and...ahem... to the 
author writing abut the memories. )

It's also possible, that Crouch! Moody had a follow-up lesson on 
another occasion.

Now I suspect there were occasions that Aunt Petunia would only have 
been too happy to have had magical powers, only so that she could 
Imperio Harry into behaving like a proper muggle.  But if she had had 
such powers, Harry would have been Imperioed thousands of times at the 
very least.
