Snape.  

Saraquel:
Hi Auria, I disagree, I always thought that Slughorn would have kept 
some brewing as part of his defence system whilst lying low, in case 
of emergencies. He certainly had some Dragon's Blood hanging around. 
Mark my words, that dusty dragon's blookd will come into its own in 
Book 7.  Maybe we should speculate on the 12 uses it could be put to!
