Jen D. here letting slip her own wild and wacky idea that can't 
possibly be true:
I always felt there was something fishy about the demise of BC Jr. 
Knowing what a strong and potent wizard he was, I reckoned some 
mayhem occurred when Fudge went in to interogate him with a dementor 
by his side. I wondered if the dementor (who's really only on his own 
side) could feel the presence of a much stronger and more evil will 
than Fudge's and perhaps decided to change sides in order to be under 
the command of a someone more likely to give him free reign, sort of 
a precursor to LV's return. And then, we do the old polyjuice potion 
thingy yet again, and viola! We have a perfect mole in the MOM! Of 
course it falls apart in so many ways it's not even worth considering 
but that period of time when it's just Fudge, BC Jr. and a dementor 
continues to give me pause.
And as well, I do not like the way the dialogue is so inconclusive as 
to who is doing the talking upon Harry's return from the graveyard. 
I've read it over and over and can not conclude when the person stops 
being Fudge and begins to be Moody/Crouch. I know how Jo plays with 
us and this would be a prime place to have contorted reality. 

Just two little thoughts...
