And if theres anything you cant explain. A wizard did it
It's stated pretty explicitly in SS/PS that there was very little of the potion left because somebody had already drank it.
Then it would be assumed that rather than going through the whole logic process it would be easier to just drink the potion that had already been drunken out of.
