This quote that Eric has pointed out is significant, because of the use of 
the word "strongest". This implies that there are different degrees of truth 
serum, which means that there mus be a "weaker" truth potin. If truth 
potions come in different strengths, it might mean that they can be 
resisted, like the Imperius Curse. What would be worse than a Death Eater 
you *think* is telling you truth, but actually isn't?
