I have no difficulty with Polyjuice, though. Not if you see it as a magical tool - the trouble starts when you think about it in Muggle terms, change of DNA or some such thing, when it´s not about biology at all. What Polyjuice does, IMO, is cast a glamour over you so that you´ll appear to everybody else as the person you choose to be, AND look the way people expect that person to look. Hence you get a Moody who is eyeless and legless but otherwise in good health, no matter what the real Moody looks like at the moment.
