In HP7 ch. 10 "Kreacher's tale" told Kreacher, at Regulus drank the potion in the basin so that Kreacher could switch the fake locket with the real one and go home. Regulus got dragged underwater by the inferies and died, which was witnessed by Kreacher. But how did the basin get filled with potion again afterwards? 'Cause When Dumbledore and Harry came to the cave the basin was filled up again! (Remember A: the first time Kreacher went to the cave with Voldemort it was the Dark Lord himself who refilled it; B. Voldemort did not realise at all that the locket was taken until shortly before the Battle of Hogward, so he could not have been there.
I could not find any explanation. Can anyone help me?

Of course, the obvious explanation is that Voldemort bewitched it so it could refill itself once the locket is removed... The first time, when Kreacher drank it, this happened, didn't it...? Voldemort wouldn't know if someone tried to steal the locket and died trying, so he would have arranged it such that he didn't have to personally refill it every time...

A very interesting question! I suppose JKR would say that Voldemort bewitched the the basin to automatically refill itself. That would make sense as a security measure.
