I just got this idea after reading that delightful filk (A maze with 
keys) that was sent in. in SS/PS, when the trio are going through the 
various chambers and end up at Snape's chamber, I was wondering why 
Snape just didn't lie during that little poem of his. It was really 
easy too. I'm certain that if I had the bottles infront of me I could 
figure it out. But IMO Snape could've lied about which was the right 
potion, though he and Dumbledore would know.

Well, traditionally those sort of challenges are beatable. They're 
supposed to be difficult, but not impossible, so in case someone is 
sent to recover it (should something had happened to the teachers), it 
CAN be recovered.

It's the same problem of a door: there is no such thing as an 
umpassable door, because it is SUPPOSED to allow entry. The safest 
place in the world isn't of much help if, once you've put something in, 
there is no way to get it out.
