Question: How do you make up the weird names for the potions?

JKR: "Sometimes invention gives out. I was writing the latest chapter
of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince and I needed to come up with
another name for another potion. I sat for ten minutes at the keyboard
then I just typed "X". I thought, "I'll go back and fill that in later.""

Okay, not quite a proof, but the phrase "another name for another
potion" suggests that several are described in the HBP book. The
likeliest explanation to that is that Harry manages to continue
studying potions.
