And Flop:
That was one of the first things that popped into my
head the first time I read this scene. I figured that
the potion was somehow tied in to what young Tom
Riddle did to those two kids in the cave, and that
drinking it somehow forced Dumbledore to experience
whatever it was. Judging by Dumbledore's reaction,
I've always considered it a mercy that we never find
out what actually happened....
Flop
