"Geoff:
I think you're ducking the issue here. When I said "How do you invent 
a spell" I thought it was clear that I was looking at it from a Wizarding 
World point of view and not "ours". I also feel that if we were given the 
relevant ingredients and the instructions for a potion, we ought to be 
able to make it; why should we become hopelessly confused? "

1. Can you mix the ingredients of the potion in any old container, or must it be in a magic cauldron?

2. Most of the instructions involve stirring the mixture with one's wand.  Why with the wand?  To 'charge' the ingredients with the potioner's magical energy.

Hence, even if a Muggle had the ingredients and instructions for a potion, it would not work.
