I can only pray he spent the period between his acquiring Moody's body in intensive practice, or that polyjuice has some sort of compensation for that sort of thing. Otherwise, he'd keep forgetting he had a peg leg, too.
HP actually would be a fascinating scenario for exploration of disability. Given how poor the Wizarding World deals with magical brain damage and psychiatic issues, I'm betting the Wizarding World doesn't "fix" people with neurological disabilities, and for any more extreme than a learning disorder (which Neville has, dear God) the person with the disabilty is hidden away like a squib or his family seeks treatment in the Muggle world if they know how, and then they're hidden away. Great story idea I'll probably never pursue: Aspie and Aspie's family fight for his or her right to attend Hogwarts, or also, muggleborn with neurological disabilities never gets Hogwarts letter, and has dangerous magical accidents as an adult, Auror!Harry has to investigate.
Re- curing werewolfism: I've seen some excellent stories that discuss Remus' feelings that his parent's (fanon) obsession with finding a cure ruined his childhood. I have a huge soft spot for those. See, after my parents got me to the point where I wasn't a potted plant, cognitively, they were more conserned with reshaping the world around me
