Moody drops all sorts of information, true and false, in his conversations and, when meeting that person again, will see if they recall it.

This is one of the ways he tests for Polyjuice users, animagi, and evil twins.

I hope he also tests for information that is true that he hasn't actually given and wouldn't expect them to have.
