Potioncat:
I'm confused. Are you saying the court was wrong to make the deal, or 
that Moody was wrong to suggest the court shouldn't honor the deal? 
Or both?

>Alla:

Potioncat:
I'd like to go back and look for all the real!Moody scenes to find 
out what he was like. It's hard to always remember that the Moody we 
know best was really Barty.

But this makes me think that Barty's ferret trick wasn't so out of 
place, nor the DE-who-walks-free ranting. It could explain why Snape 
would feel very nervous around Moody. (But geeze---compared to Tom?) 
By the sane token, the real Moody thinks there's something strange 
about Harry. He and Snape could drink to that.

Potioncat:
Because there are things worse than death? Because one person could 
be so cruel to another? Because at some point all of them had come 
through his school and he knew the bad guys as well as the good guys?
