Or...or...he went to the local potions shop and said, I'll
have a gallon of each and send the bill to Hogwarts.

I'm not saying that it did happen, only that it could have.

The idea that Snape had already started these potions for
his first NEWT potions class works too. Keep in mind summer
holiday is two month, it takes 6 month to brew that particular
potion. So Snape had to start well into the previous school
year.
