Well, heck.  
I looked it up on the lexicon, they've got a list of differences btw 
the editions:

http://www.hp-lexicon.org/about/books/hbp/differences-hbp.html

My assertion is still valid in terms of the timing, thank goodness, a 
point I actually had to defend elsewhere.  Harry's gone about five 
hours.  He returns to the castle after getting the memory.  So the 
Felix would have been out of his system at the point he and Slughorn 
are alone.

So it doesn't matter which edition is correct -- he's off the Felix 
either way, as far as I see it.

Should I say "thanks" Jen?  ;)
