zgirnius:
I am willing to believe that the magic of the potion/cave was really 
such that it *DID* all have to be drunk by a person. This would not 
inconvenience LV in the slightest. He would just bring along a random 
Imperiused Muggle and have him/her drink the potion. One of the 
conveniences of being a Dark Lord is not having to worry about little 
questions of ethics...
