What favor did Moody owe Dumbledore?


Would real Moody have taught 4th year students about Unforgiveable curses?Why didn't Dumbledore realise that Moody had been replaced?Was there any point in Goblet of Fire film where Dumbledore becomes suspicious of Moody?What did Dumbledore ask Moody at the opening feast?Why didn't Dumbledore appoint the real Mad Eye Moody to teach Defense Against Dark Arts?Why did only Hagrid and Dumbledore clap for Moody?Why did “Moody” suggest to Harry that he should consider becoming an Auror?Why did Dumbledore allow Alastor Moody to join the reconstituted Order of the Phoenix (in book 5)?What did Dumbledore teach?Why did Alastor Moody grow rusty in his duelling skills at his old age, while Dumbledore can still fight Voldemort in his old age?

In the Goblet of Fire, "Moody" mentioned that he would only be teaching for a year and only because he owed Dumbledore a favor. What was this favor and what made it so important that it made Moody agree to give up a year of his life to teach DADA?

          I don't think there is necessarily an indication that Moody owed Dumbledore a favor. Here is the relevant quote from Chapter Fourteen:




          "You'll be Arthur Weasley's son, eh?" Moody said. "Your father got me out of a very tight corner a few days ago.... Yeah, I'm staying just the one year. Special favor to Dumbledore.... One year, and then back to my quiet retirement."




          All this says is that Moody agreed to teach for one year as a favor to Dumbledore. It doesn't say that he owed a favor to Dumbledore. People do favors for others all the time, especially when they like and respect the person. Moody might simply have agreed to it because Dumbledore asked him.

          • I don't think this is true. This is because of the wording that is used. "Special favor" implies that Moody owed Dumbledore something. Also, looking at Moody's personality, it seems that he is a man of honor (when he says to never attack someone from behind) but also doesn't go out of his way to perform random acts of kindness.

          • @InventPalooza It’s not a random act of kindness. I don’t think he would do it for many other people. But Dumbledore is his friend, they have worked together against Voldemort and the Death Eaters for many years, and he presumably highly respects him.

          • I agree that it's not a random act of kindness. I further agree that he regards Dumbledore with the highest respect. That still does not mean that he would go out of his way to give anybody a favor. As mentioned throughout the book, Alastor Moody does not trust... well, anyone.
