Q: Why wasn't fake!Moody at risk of going to prison for using the
Imperius Curse against fellow human beings, the students? 
 
A: Because those against whom that curse was cast, the students, gave
permission for fake!Moody to do it under strict guidelines and 
conditions. Although, one could argue that the permission was only
implied, and equally, that the 'strict guidelines and conditions' were
also only implied. 


Kemper now:
As all of the students in Harry's DADA class are 5th year and 
probably considered minors under Wizard Law, wouldn't the 
parents/guardians of these minors need to have signed some sort of 
permission slip?  Or is allowing your child to attend the school 
permission enough?  Having a child placed under the Imperius Curse 
seems like it would be less permitted than being able to go to 
Hogsmead.
