It's difficult to understand why the fake Moody would want to do
that, and we know he didn't need to lift the curse, Harry could do
it himself. Not long after this incident mighty Voldemort himself
tried to put the Imperius Curse on Harry, he failed. Both the Dark
Lord and his Death Eaters seemed surprised at this, it was probably
the first time he failed at it.

He knew the fake Moody couldn't do it but Voldemort fancies himself
as the most powerful wizard who ever lived, I imagine he thought he
could do better. And Voldemort was loosing face in front of his
Death Eaters and was running out of options, he gave Harry an order,
he wanted him to beg, but even the Cruciatus Curse couldn't make him
do it, so he tried Imperius, and failed again.

I have never heard of that in my life, it is certainly not something
likely to engender respect for the teacher.

Yes, and fighting back with everything he has was exactly what Harry
was doing when he looked into the Pensive. If you find that your
opponent has made a mistake, like being careless where you put your
memories, then the warrior must exploit that mistake. And that is
what Harry is really in training to become, a warrior.
