I was wondering something about Polyjuice potion.  Here's the 
scenario...
Person A takes polyjuice with a hair of person B in it.  Now Person A 
has transformed into person B.  Person C comes along, and thinking 
that person A is really person B makes a polyjuice potion with 
something from person A (in his transformed state). Now, my question 
is... Who does person C turn in to?  
I know that this is not something that we can decide for certain, but 
I though that it might be a good debate for the group.  I've been 
able to make the argument for both A & B.  

 If the transformation is not 100%, down to say the DNA level the 
item (hair, fingernail, etc) will still essentially be that of person 
A, so in that case I would say Person C would transform into person 
A.  However, we know that more than just outward appearences are 
changed during transformation (eg, Crouch!Moody being able to use 
Real Moody's Magical Eye, Harry not needing his glasses when he was 
Goyle)so it is possible that Person C would transform into person B.  
I also think it would matter about the time period.  If the potion 
had already run out, the question would be moot, right?

I hope that this hasn't been brought up before, and if it has, I am 
very sorry!
