Jmoses
I believe Hermione identified what was in the cauldron as FF.  What
Slughorn gave to Harry was a vile that he pulled out of his robes. 
For all Harry knew what he was given could have been a cleverly
disquised poison.  Who is to say that Slughorn didn't have two viles
in his robes, one of them being poison and the other being the FF potion.

Jmoses.
