I know someone must have posted about this but my search 
hasn't turned it up.  The old copy of Advanced Potions seen on 
the cover of one edition of HBP might well be another one of 
'Lord Voldemort's old school things', hence the connection to 
CoS.  If so, and it's in the Malfoy house,  Draco may drag it out to 
use it against Harry, or for some other nefarious purpose now 
that Dad is in Azkaban.  I do believe Jo has set up a huge conflict 
between Harry and Snape, and this old text book is another 
pointer in that direction as well.  Did Voldemort use potions to 
achieve much of his partial "immortality"?  Is what Snape does 
as a "spy" related to potions making?  I'm sure someone else 
has posted a more coherent theory in more convincing form; can 
anyone tell me where?

Thanks much!
