Possibility of a new potion by Snape and Dumbledore?!?!

Hey (the original stuff is at the bottom!!!!),

The anatomy lesson is interesting, but probably won't happen, because it would be kind of hard to explain the molucular structure of blood cells to the "younger readers" of the HP books.  It would be awesome in the Scientific version of HP.  :-)

As for the the question of developing a potion, it's very probale and an awesome theory.  The potion couldn't just outright kill Voldy because that would demote Harry as "Main Character/Archetype."  It would probably make Voldemort loose all of his power thus making him easy to put in jail(Harry is not "allowed" to kill Voldy in cold blood. It's a Hero rule).  

To the 12 uses of Dragon's Blood,  unless it is one of the main ingredients of a very important potion or has magic healing powers (such as Fawks's tears), then we probably won't learn of all of the uses. 

Note: I am at two disadvantages, I never saw the original thread and I'm a newbie!  Please be kind! Thanx! 
Note 2: I edited the original stuff so if it doesn't look like what you've already seen, that's why!

  Background evidence:
  Severus Snape, Potions Master and ex-Death Eater, which gives him much knowledge of Voldemort and his strengths, as well as his weaknesses. And, Albus Dumbeldore, "widely considered to be the greatest wizard of the current age, famous for defeating the dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945, for discovering the twelve uses of dragon's blood(and btw: what *are* the twelve uses of dragon's blood? Is this something that we will find out in 5,6, &7?) and for his work on alchemy with his friend Nicolas 
  Flamel."

  IMO Between the alchemy and the potions knowledge, could it be possible that the two of them come up with a potion that is not temporary, like the polyjuice potion is?

  I'm sort of a newbie here, and I'd like to add my two Knuts to this discussion about Snape coming up with a potion. 

  Voldemort already has a very potent "potion" coursing through his veins-- Harry Potter's blood. This could lead to ( excuse the magical anatomy lesson) the White(Harry/good/Ethical) corpusules attacking the black(Voldemort/evil) corpusules. This would lead to a 
  battle on the celluar level in Voldemort's body. If this is too clinical Muggle. Snape could use the fact that Harry's blood is in Voldemort to devise a potion that would some how destroy Voldemort by 
  replacing the dark magic with the good stuff.
