Bart: 
I'm guessing all of the below:

A) He wanted to increase Harry's self confidence; as I have mentioned, there DOES seem to be a self-confidence aspect to casting magic in the WW. 
B) He was following Moody's lesson plans; since the real Moody had already gotten permission to cast the UC's, it would have looked suspicious if "he" suddenly changed "his" mind. 
C) In the 1950's and early 1960's, there was a recurring character in Batman comics called "Bat-Mite". He was a magical creature from another dimension who was a big fan of Batman's. So much so that he would interfere with Batman's cases, by increasing the abilities of the villains or handicapping Batman, so that, during his visits to Batman's dimension, he could see his hero overcome a REAL challenge. I suspect that he was similarly helping Harry increase his power to show how strong Morty REALLY was when he offed Harry. 
D) Dumbledore asked him to give special training to Harry, and, between his not wanting to blow his cover and A, B, and C, he complied.
