Potioncat:
I tend to think that once anyone has read a line differently, we 
don't know what we thought we knew.  But my understanding of the 
different quotes was that he had to take the medicine for a week.  
Just like we take most antibiotics for 10 days. 

I tried to cut and paste and I tried going upthread, to get the 
snipped quote.  But I can't move it.  I'm typing from memory.

 Snape says "You forgot to take your potion tonight so I brought a 
gobletful along."  That makes me think he takes it every day for a 
week.  Certainly, if he only had to take it once, neither he nor 
Snape would wait till the last minute. Although they certainly did 
this time!
