Perhaps person C would turn into person A turned into person B. In
other words, they would take on the appearance of person B for the
remainder of person A's hour, and then turn "back" into person A for
the remainder of his or her own hour. After all, if Polyjuice Potion
is able to detect every aspect of a person's appearance from just one
hair, then it would probably be able to detect both the original and
tranformed characteristics of a person from the same hair.

Wasn't that brilliant?  I thought it was cool.

Yes, I'm still around.  RL got in the way, complete with graduations, 
confirmations, a bout with depression, and having to fill in for my 
supervisor at work during his vacation, during which time a coworker 
was forced to admit to me (after I caught him) that he was purposely 
sabotaging my work because he thought it was funny to watch me 
running around trying to figure out how things had screwed up, and 
then fix it for me.  I'm sobered up and back on duty.
