In my most recent reading of GoF, I wondered for the first time (I 
kind of hate to bring this up, probably already been debunked...) if 
Snape couldn't have been stalling.  Not just in the usual "I want to 
pester you, Potter" sort of way but in a way to help Crouch.  
Crouch/Moody did receive the owl about Crouch Sr's probable coming-
clean.  Now that we know what was going on in those few minutes.  

I have a difficult time getting my brain around Double Agent! Snape 
but...  
Set me straight here,
