The green liquid that Dumbledore insists on drinking the entire thing no matter what he says... my boyfriend and other friends are debating what the liquid is and if there's been clues as to what it was or will it come into play in the final Harry Potter book? Let me know if you've noticed anything that suggests what it could be. Thanks!

Clues could include Professor Slughorn's class where he discussed the love potion, amortenia, polyjuice potion, and Felix Felicius. It was an important lesson that let the students (and readers) know that potions can be used to create powerful feelings and experiences. I think that the green liquid in the basin is a potion that was designed to induce fearful hallucinations and prevent the drinker from obtaining the locket. It may also have been a slow working poison that would cause the person to linger long enough for an interrogation about what they knew and how they got that far, before dying and joining the Inferi.
It could come into play in Book 7, if Snape is the one that brewed the potion for Voldemort. It would also explain why Dumbledore sought his help when he and Harry got back to Hogwarts from the cave. If he brewed it, then he would know how to counteract it. It would make sense that Snape would be the one to have invented the liquid, as he was brilliant at potions -- enough so to go onto become the resident potions master at Hogwarts. That, and we know that he was inventing spells to physically effect others even as a student. Plus, he was always fascinated with the Dark Arts so it is believable that he'd invent something that caused such mental anguish and death.

and als0 i think that if snape brew the potion that the potion may do something to dumbledor so when snape cast the Avada Cadava spell on him it made it look like he was dead but he might not be.and that snape maybe only did that to protect malfoy as he swore that thing.

wow i agree with kami...
definitely something that wouldn't kill u right away, but would seriously incapacitate your senses so that u wouldn't be able to get the locket OR go back across the boat. also, most likely when u are hallucinating and weak, u might touch the water and make the inferi come out of the water, pretty much holding u there thru fear and torture until voldemort arrived!
that's why dumbledore needed Harry to be there.. he didn't register as a wizard cuz he was still underage, and the boat was bewitched to only hold ONE adult wizard.
i never thought that snape would be the maker of it.. it's quite possible... or that snape knew about it. i'd tend to think that voldemort wouldn't trust anyone w/ that kind of thing, he would concoct it himself. also, we don't know how old voldemort was when he started the horcruxes..could've been before snape was a death eater...either way, how did the RAB get the locket??? why was the green liquid still there? does it refill itself?? iiinteresting...

I think so too. It might be some potion invented by Snape.
