Yes, I know i might of put a little to much thought into this, but i always do Anyways, in book three Lupin states that while the Boggart is in the wardrobe he has as yet no form and no one knows what it is.
In book five Mrs Weasly asks if Moody can look into the drawing room desk to see if there is a boggart inside. Does this mean that he can see what the Boggart looks like when it hasn't taken on a form to scar somebody. I find it unlikly that Boggarts can indeed see through solid objects too.
What are your thoughts on this?

That is such an amazing thought... and I wonder if it's something that JKR will address.
Thank you so much for thinking about this. Something to definately ponder.

I noticed this too. I also noticed that in the third book, Lupin had said that no one (I don't know if he included people with magical eyes in this statement) knew what a boggart looked like in it's unchanged form. Going off of that, how would Moody know it was a boggart anyway. He might have seen them before, I will admit, after all, he is an Auror. Though I'll bet Rowling has gotten many a question about this subject.
Yeah, maybe it can sense someone searching or looking for it, and sort of, tap in to their emotions, finding out what they fear. Then they can change before the person gets there.

Don't know if they can sense a magical eye looking upon them... but, does Moody's eye allow him to see through walls, etc...?
Also, even if he didn't know what one looked like, if it was in a cabinet, and he could see through it, and it was in a form, but different to him when he opened it... then, I would guess he has seen it's true forum. Who knows!

Moody can see through walls and cabinets with his spooky eye. He was able to see Harry standing outside Dumbledores office, well, that was fake Moody, but it was his fake eye on fake Moody .
