Hmmm  . . . interesting.  I never thought about why Moody attacked 
Draco; I thought he was trying to get on Harry's good side.  But 
wasn't it FakeMoody who said if there was one thing he couldn't stand 
it was a Death Eater who got away?  Thus, his attack on Draco could 
have been intended as signal to Lucius because Lucius pretended to go 
back to the "good side."  But then again, Lucius didn't know that 
Barty Jr. was masquerading as FakeMoody, so any message to Lucius 
would have appeared to have come from Moody???
