“The Dark Lord didn’t manage to kill you, Potter, and he so wanted to,” whispered Moody. “Imagine how he will reward me when he finds I have done it for him. I gave you to him — the thing he needed above all to regenerate — and then I killed you for him. I will be honored beyond all other Death Eaters. I will be his dearest, his closest supporter . . . closer than a son. . . .”
I thought the son reference was weird until I remembered that this is Barty Crouch Jr. and his father kind of sucked (I mean, in somewhat understandable ways, but still harsh)
