Marci's reply:  Fake Moody was in Snape's office to steal boomslang 
skin for polyjuice potion so he could continue to be Fake Moody. The 
search was a cover story only.

Marci again:  According to DD, Real Moody was known to only drink 
from his own flask (and to be very paranoid) which allowed Fake 
Moody to drink polyjuice potion once an hour to maintain his 
disguise.

Marci's comment: hindsight suggests that Crouch jr, an unrepentant 
DE, was saying something about his own "spots".

Marci's suggestion: Snape may have been a DE, but he has DD's 
trust.  Harry saw in the pensieve that Snape was a "double agent" 
before LV's defeat and DD testified in his behalf.  Also, as noted 
above, Fake Moody was not an auror; he was Barty Crouch jr, an 
unrepentant DE.
