Regarding Crouch/Moody, I don't think that his action was purely anger 
based (turning Draco into a ferret). Sure there is the whole underlying 
anger towards his father deal, but I think it was more to get Harry's 
trust. I think that Crouch was masterful at controlling his anger. I am 
not a fan of his, but it would take great discipline to do what he did. 
To be in disguise, surrounded by all of those that he despises, and not 
succumb to the urge to destroy them all. I don't think that Snape has that 
control. He demonstrated his lack of it every time he was around Sirius.
