Montavilla47:

My take on Snape on GoF is that he's totally weirded out by Moody. 
He's been working faithfully for Dumbledore for thirteen years now,
and he thinks that Dumbledore trusts him--even if there are rumors
floating around the staffroom about him.

But suddenly, Dumbledore hires an ex-auror who starts searching 
Snape's office (claiming that it's on Dumbledore's orders), beating up
his students, and practically accusing Snape of trying to kill Harry.

So, Snape has got to be wondering whether Dumbledore really
trusts him at all.  Plus, he's got this dark mark getting showing
up on his arm.  

He's probably getting flashbacks to the first war.

Montavilla47:
I don't know, unless he thought that resisting Imperius might help
in the tournament?
