Carolyn:
Actually, I think that's what the whole cave episode is about as 
well. I can't believe he didn't see it was a false locket from the 
moment he first peered in.

I think he took the decision to drink the stuff there and then, 
deciding it was his signal to exit stage left, Harry's final lesson 
from him. There was absolutely no need to have put himself at such 
risk otherwise. That, or hubris that he was stronger than the Dark 
Lord and/or could get to Snape in time for an antidote.

Wondering why the whole WW has not been issued with bezoars. A useful 
precaution, a bit like carrying gas masks, you'd've thought.
