Yes, it is funny how he's been "watching Harry closer than he can imagine" (and did no one else get a sort of looking-at-you-through-the-bathroom-window vibe when Albus said that?) but still manages to miss all the various things that could have been prevented in OotP, not to mention the terrible things that happen to Slytherins.
When OotP first came out, it was the fashion to exclaim that the reason why Severus did not eat at no.12 was because he is a vampire and only eats the blood of innocents, presumably. Meanwhile, the reference to that potion was applied to Harry's behaviour. What short memories people have :/
