Susan again:
"And if Harry's Invisibility Cloak is so special, why can Moody's mad eye see through it?"

CathyD now
"I'm not entirely certain he can see through it.  I think Dumbledore probably told Fake!Moody of Harry's cloak in GoF.  I think that, unlike the naked muggle/wizard eye which can't see the cloak, something about Moody's magical eye can.  And since he saw the cloak between Ron and Hermione (in the Pub), he concluded that Harry was the one under it.  However, his magical eye may be so magical that it can see through the cloak."

Answering myself and Susan.  Yes, Moody can see through Harry's cloak.  I couldn't find the reference yesterday, when I was posting, but found it later.  I presumed someone on the list would correct me, but if they did, I missed it.  Here is the quote from GoF:

"Harry stared at him [Moody] in amazement....'Can your eye -- I mean, can you --?' 'Yeah, it can see through Invisibility Cloaks,' Moody said quietly.  'And it's come in useful at times, I can tell you.' " (Can Ed pg 282-283)
