Pippin:
Did Crouch really teach Harry to throw off the curse?  It would be easy 
enough for Crouch to lift the curse non-verbally and pretend that 
Harry had thrown it off. That way he could seem to fulfill Dumbledore's
wishes but still leave Harry vulnerable. It could be that Harry never
really did it on his own until the graveyard.

Even if Harry only  believed he had successfully resisted imperius,
before, he might still have done it  'again', as with the patronus spell.
