zgirnius:
I am not assuming that a boggart would feel uncomfortable, I agree it 
would.

Actually, I am not assuming much at all. I am suggesting that since 
Moody knew it was a boggart, what he saw when he looked at it was 
either 1) a boggart in its natural (supposedly unknown) form, or 2) 
the shape Boggarts habitually take for Moody. Now, if whatever that 
is, belongs in 12 GP, how could Moody know it was a Boggart, and 
not...whatever? So I conclude that if the Boogart took a form for 
Moody, that form is not something that would tyoically hide out in a 
piece of furniture at 12 GP. 

I hope I am clearer, this time around...I blame it on the nasty virus 
I caught from the kiddies. <g>
