And remember that the Darkest spell we've seen in the books so far --
 the one that resurrected Voldemort in the graveyard -- involves a 
potion.  But it also involves a certain amount of wand-waving and an 
incantation.  It seems like some sort of combination of Potions and 
traditional spell-casting.  Which does seem to suggest that Potions 
and Dark Arts are closely related somehow.
