However, he was always known to have been gifted in potions. Even in HBP, the narrative never says that he was brilliant or otherwise (granted it's Harry's POV, so he could be biased). It is never implied that he wanted the DADA post because he was excellent at it. Their fall out had been a result of multiple little things, only the mudblood incident was the last straw. This is especially true for people who regularly write on their job, like teachers or doctors.Īlthough the Prince's Tale is Snape's POV, we can still see Lily's resolution to not stay in touch with him and can believe it. Also, I'm sure our handwriting isn't the same as our teenage selves. Hermione would not recognise Snape's handwriting, because Snape used magic to jot down the instructions. Similar misdirection was Slughorn suggesting that bezoar was something that Lily would use. Hermione suggesting it looks like a girl's handwriting, is just a misdirection on the author's part (since she later finds Aileen Prince in a library book). We literally write notes this way.įrom the HP wiki, it is known to have been a NEWT level book. an explanation of Golpalott’s Third Law, in the chapter on Antidotes ( HBP18).As a medical professional, I'd say that the instructions being in second person is not odd at all.Felix Felicis, known as “Liquid Luck” ( HBP9, HBP24).ContentsĪlong with the Half-Blood Prince’s handwritten invented spells, there were also instructions to “just shove a bezoar down their throats” in case of a poisoning. Hermione Granger, who was rather jealous of Harry’s success, thought Harry was wrong to “cheat” using the Prince’s notes ( HBP9, HBP11, HBP12).
When his own copy of the book arrived from Flourish and Blotts, he swapped the book covers around by magic, so that the Prince’s copy only looked like it was the new one ( HBP11). Harry found the name “Half-Blood Prince” inscribed at the bottom of the back cover ( HBP9).
Unlike Ron Weasley’s copy from the same cabinet, Harry’s was inscribed with various spells and helpful-hints for improved potions ( HBP10) that led to Slughorn thinking of him as a “dab hand” ( HBP9) and Potioneer ( HBP18) like his mother Lily had been ( HBP22). The Prince’s copy of Advanced Potion-Making by Libatius Borage was given to Harry Potter out of a cabinet by Professor Horace Slughorn on the first day of N.E.W.T.
