Well, I suppose, if you say so.  But the love potent moved the Slughorn 
story line forward, and narrative action is what makes the story. 

It probably would have been a lot different book if the boys had been 
dropping Elfen Spanish Fly into the Girl's pumpkin juice, Hg a love 
slave in HP & Ron's tent.
