Alla:

Since we know that Crouch!Moody tried to teach kids how to resist 
Imperius! for his own purposes (whatever they were), I doubt that he 
mentioned it in the staff room. When I read that comment, I had not 
doubt in my mind that Dumbledore told him.

Although I wonder how that conversation went. Poor Dumbledore . He 
probably tried to tell Snape that Harry is special , that he may 
succeed in Occlumency with proper teaching instructions. That Snape 
should try and forget all this prejudice and ill will he harbored 
against Harry. :o)

Yeah, nice try that probably was.
