I'm reading back and forth between GoF and OoP and something jumped
out at me. In GoF Crouch!Moody performs the Forbidden Curses in
class. Harry proves adept at resisting the Imperius Curse. A long
time ago, our group discussed whether DD knew about this. We ended
up with two disagreeing camps as I recall.
In GoF in the graveyard, LV performs the Imperius and again Harry is
able to resist.
In OoP Snape is starting Occlumency classes and comments that Harry
has some skill in resisting the Imperius Curse, comparing it to
resisting Legilimency.
How did Snape know Harry could resist Imperius? If C!M was working
as Moody under DD's instructions, he could have reported it DD. But
why would C!M tell DD? And why didn't LV know that Harry could
resist it? Do you think Crouch!Moody forgot to tell him?
So, do you think DD told Snape? I wouldn't think C!M did. They
didn't seem the type to sit around and discuss students with each
other. Do you think Snape learned about it from a DE contact who
told him about the graveyard events? Or, was Snape there afterall?
Potioncat: once again full of questions and no answers!
