Kristen:
At long last JK has provided some details on veritaserum on her 
website.  Under the FAQ Books. Cannot copy it but short version is 
that just like lie detectors it can be fooled or blocked if you are a powerful wizard or witch. (Seal the throat, transform the potion 
before you drink it, fake a speach ect ect). So since some wizards 
are powerful or smart enough to fake it and some are not it is not 
used becuase it wouldn't fair and it would be hard to determine who
gave a real response. As for Moody she said while he is powerful he was weakend from the stunning spells.

While the other questions were interesting I didn't have answers so I
snipped them.
