Potioncat:
And the scene closes with Crouch!Moody taking Draco to see Professor 
Snape. Too bad Harry didn't sneak after him so we could see the 
interaction. 

The questionable Forbidden Curses Classes has come up again in 
another thread.  Everyone seems to think it was common knowledge 
around the school that Harry had thrown off the Imperius.  So Snape 
and DD know about it.  But did Snape ever know Moody well enough to 
know this isn't consistent with Moody?  Snape certainly is not 
comfortable around him.
