Mad-Eye Moody Character Analysis

A retired Auror and a member of the Order of the Phoenix. He's missing an eye and replaced it with a bright blue enchanted one that can spin in all directions and see through everything, even solid surfaces and Invisibility Cloaks. He's a gruff and scowling person who openly distrusts everyone, hence his catchphrase, "constant vigilance." He dies while the Order moves Harry to the Burrow, and Death Eaters steal his enchanted eye. Harry takes it from Dolores Umbridge when he infiltrates the Ministry and buries it in the forest. It's all that anyone can find of Moody's body.

Dumbledore would have believed him, he knew it. Dumbledore would have known how and why Harry's wand had acted independently, because Dumbledore always had the answers; he had known about wands, had explained to Harry the strange connection that existed between his wand and Voldemort's...But Dumbledore, like Mad-Eye, like Sirius, like his parents, like his poor owl, all were gone where Harry could never talk to them again.
