"Harry has to continue with potions through his NEWTS in order to 
become an Auror, which he was set to do when he had his career 
counseling session with McGonagall."

DuffyPoo again:
Isn't that what I just said?  I am quite certain HP will continue with potions if only to continue the running battle with Snape.  I don't have as much of a propblem with him achieving Outstanding on his Owl as some others do. He found the written paper difficult and the afternoon practical "not a sdreadful as he had expected it to be" and thought, with luck he avoided a fail.  I think lots of people have had those same feelings about papers and practical exams and ended up doing quite well.  

I was only pointing out that needing a name for another potion did not necessarily indicate that Harry was in potions class.  Snape could be forcing him to drink it, for heaven's sake! ;-)  Didn't we first learn about Veritaserum when Snape was offering to force it down HP's throat?
