Terri:
I think that Moody (Barty) watched Snape because he was, like us, not
sure if Snape was on the side of the Light or the Dark. Snape tried
to avoid Moody's eyes becuase he thought it was the real Moody.
Snape liked being Dark. He didn't want Dumbledore to ever tell
anyone, ever, that he was protecting Harry. See DH p. 679. Snape
wants DD's word that he shall never reveal the best of Snape, we see
it. He does not want Moody to know of his light side.

Terri:
When Moody was "teaching" Harry the curse, I don't think Barty was
really "teaching." I think he was pretending to be Moody, so he used
that as an excuse to get close to Harry and learn all he could,
including, how suseptible (sp?) he was to the imperious curse. He did
after all have to keep up the appeqrence of being Proffessor Moody.
Plus, he probably found it fun toying with Harry. Barty being so
dark was probably thinking how great it was to be able to cast the
imperious curse on his master's greatest enemy.
This is my first post ever on this list. Please be kind.
