This is one of my regrets, too.  The Potions book needs massive
re-writing and Snape should have gotten credit for his ingenious
modifications to the accepted potions recipes.  And, to think, Snape
was this good at potions when he was Harry's age.  Unfortunately,
I don't think Harry has enough of a mind for potions or Hermione's
memory to be able to reconstruct those discoveries and inventions.
And Hermione was actively refusing to pay attention to them, even
though she might have been able to recognize the theory behind
them and recreate them later if she had paid attention.

Harry said that he learned a lot from the Prince, but it doesn't quite
seem likely that he would have learned the THEORY behind the
modifications that Snape made.
