Sherry now:

I think of potions as being similar to chemistry, or even in the case of
something like Wolf's bane, pharmacology.  Some people, including me, are no
good at Chemistry and would not dare create my own medications.  and it
wouldn't be legal anyway.  i have to take meds for arthritis, that can be
very harmful to the rest of my body over time.  Even if I had a recipe, I
wouldn't dare make them for fear of poisoning myself or causing some other
problem.  I think it's as simple as that for Lupin.
