[HPforGrownups] Veritaserum

I have always felt this way, and have had complicated legalistic discussions
with susan hall about this.
I really think that since veritasserum still only allows you to tell truth
from your perspective, and therefore what you tell is not objective truth,
combined with what I would presume to be "newness" {i.e. Past 75 years or
so} make it impermissible in wizarding courts or even investigations. 

Btw- offtopically, the hp4gu newyorkers had a great time at serendipity
today - I am back at the airport but I think they are still in the park!

OK, here is another question/comment from a new member. I agree that
veritaserum would have made all those post-Voldemort trials far
easier. This is one of the three things that really irritate me
(together with the portkey and the, urgh, I can't even talk about it.)
Is it possible, do you think, that the serum is something new, perhaps
even invented as a reaction to the trials? After all, the
anti-werewolf potion is new, isn't it?
