Sue:

I'd just like to add to this that Draco has no reason to like Fake!
Moody even if he knew the truth, because Barty Junior is no friend 
to him - he hated Death Eaters who went free, remember? As far as 
he's concerned, the likes of Lucius have been disloyal to the 
Master, betrayed him, etc., and are, perhaps, worse than those who 
were never on his side. There's no confusion here - Barty Junior is 
in no way an ally of Draco and his family!
