 after all, snape encountered filch while wandering around, and 
complained that someone was in his office.  if snape didn't say 
anything to dumbledore, filch most definately would.  

It was boomslang skin and gillyweed.  The gillyweed was used for Harry 
to survive in the lake during Task #2.  Boomslang skin was definitely 
a clue - when Snape mentioned it to Harry, Harry thought of when 
they'd used it during COS.  But Snape was missing it *this* year, not 
two years ago.  

Of course, I'm sure boomslang skin is an ingredient of more than one 
spell, so it wouldn't necessarily imply Polyjuice Potion above any of 
the others.

You get used to it after a while. <g>
