Interesting thought you had; which makes me wonder, what if the
'secret formula' based on the Elixer of Life, was NOT to give people
imortality, but to give people like soldiers in battle short temporary
invulnerability? In a sense, it would be the first reliable 'Block' or
counter charm against the AK curse. This would be very benificial to
the side that had it, and obviously, very detrimental to the side that
didn't. 

This could account for a lot of things, and it could allow Harry one
more 'resurrection' when he finally defeats Voldemort. This could tie
in nicely with my theory that Harry WILL die but he will not be
killed. That is he will suffer some form of technical death, death by
some acceptable definition, which leaves Voldemort vulnerable and
allows Big_V to be finally killed once an for all, but at the same
time allows the technically dead Harry to be reawakened.

The Harry must die in order for Voldemort to die, is a side effect of
the fateful failed Death Curse. Harry surviving that original death
curse was the result of the Secret Death Curse Invulnerability
Experiments. 

At Godric's Hollow, James delayed Big_V long enough for Lily to work
the counter charms and administer the potions, then she delayed Voldie
by beggging for her life, in order to give the anti-DE charm long
enough to take effect.

Oooouuuuu.... new thought, maybe the secret formula is a combination
of Dragon's Blood, Pheonix Tears, and a tiny amount of the Elixer of
Life, or some synthetic variation of the Elixer of Life.

Hey, it could happen!
