I noticed this too :-). But, you know, the basin *does* refill 
itself, because when LV comes to the cave to check, the potion is 
there again. We see it (together with Harry) through LV's eyes. He 
turns the potion clear to be able to see the bottom, but, clear or 
green, it's still there (p.595 Am.ed.). It means that the basin 
refilled itself after DD drank the potion.

I don't know why Kreacher said it was LV who refilled the basin. 
Maybe he just saw the basin filling with the potion again and assumed 
it was LV who did it, or maybe it can work both ways. Anyway, I don't 
think that after drinking the potion Kreacher was in a condition to 
understand everything clearly, poor thing ;-(.
