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.
