Alice:

Maybe the same reason DD can't drink the water Harry conjures for
him... but it sure is strange that they didn't think of it.

Incidentally, it's a good thing Harry's in 6th grade seeing as you
only start learning conjuring in that year - even if his talents don't
yield anything in that particular case.

Alice:
