Potioncat:
And this is part of the reason I don't think Snape broke it.  I 
think if he were going to break it (and he is that mean) he would 
have broken it in front of Harry for the extra bit of "Gotcha!"

I think it is very interesting that even though we really don't 
know, we've formed firmly held opinions of what happened.

The bigger question is: did JKR write it this way just for fun, or 
is there going to be a reason for this scene?  Or is it part of 
building up Harry's distrust of Snape?

It has also crossed my mind, that Book6!Harry or Book7!Harry with  
timeturner and an invisibility cloak comes back and smashes it, 
because the potion is exceptionally good and is used for some 
misdeed.
