Pippin:
We can't be sure that Harry actually fought off the imperius that
Fake!Moody put on him. It'd be easy enough for Fake!Moody to lift the 
spell non-verbally and lie about it, tricking Harry into thinking
that he'd fought it successfully. Then, when Harry faced Voldemort's
Imperius, he "knew", just like with the patronus spell,  that he'd done
it before. 

I don't think Fake!Moody would think Harry needed to learn to resist
Imperius to defeat the other champions, since all that really mattered
from his point of view was that Harry be first to reach the cup. Harry's
standing in the contest as a whole wasn't a concern.
