Jen: Voldemort might be too great a wizard to be outsmarted by Felix, 
he could see what Harry was up to and manipulate the sitaution to his 
advantage.  Which is to say I don't think JKR will recycle this plot 
again because she used it to great effect in HBP <g>. Plus, she's 
spent so much time on they way Harry is protected from 
Voldemort's 'lure of power'--love--and that will be the deciding 
factor in the defeat of Voldemort rather than a tricky potion. 

Jen R., hoping Felix will play a part one more time so we can hear 
about one of Slughorn's perfect days.
