Simon:
I don't really agree; primarily because of the fact that Fudge acted 
the role of power-hungry paranoid politician perfectly, especially 
during the scene when Dumbledore leaves. Also against the idea that 
he was being cursed is that when Fudge saw Voldemort really was back 
he accepted it instead of continuing to deny it. But it certainly does 
make an interesting theory.
