Well, actually, Moody contributed to his death himself. Not that I 
absolve Dumbledore, mind. But you see, Dung Fletcher did not want to 
come at all, he did not want to come as fake Harry at he certainly 
did not want to come with Moody, because Moody was considered the 
target #1. He was forced to do all of the above, however. So not only 
Dumbledore put the Order's member's lives in jeopardy, Moody and Co 
took it upon themselves to appoint Fletcher as canon folder, because 
obviously they thought him dispensable. In the event he scampered, 
and in the ensuring scuffle Moody lost concentration and was killed. 
Served him right. 

By the way, there is one thing about the fake Potters busyness that 
gave me a slight pause. Ok, Fletcher was matched with Moody because 
they were most the dispensable member of the Order and the most 
famous Auror respectively. But how did Hermione ended up as #2 on the 
scale of dispensability?! She flew with Kingsley, and Kingsley was 
commonly regarded as the target #2.
