And a great one!  I'm not sure if Luna drank from the bottle (I 
don't think she did, at least not that we've been told).  If that 
were the case (Felix made them do it), I suspect Hermione would have 
said something to the effect of, "But I thought it was the right 
thing to do, the Felix made me think so..."  That could still 
happen - maybe an early-on discussion in the next book.
