The question was WHAT WAS THE FIRST POTION MENTIONED IN THE BOOK SNAPE TAUGHT POTIONS IN THE FIRST BOOK. The first potion MENTIONED is in the statement : "for your information, Potter, asphodel and wormwood make a sleeping potion......." said by Snape, IN THE FIRST BOOK.

Spock... cool down! Of course Slughorn does not appear in the first book.
I was talking about jammi's hint that the potion first mentioned in the series, was also made by the trio in book 6. If you read just a few words more, you'll find Snape said "for your information, Potter, asphodel and wormwood make a sleeping potion so powerful it is known as the Draught of Living Death." So, the Draught of Living Death was the first potion mentioned in the books; and also was made by Harry's class in 6th year when they had Slughorn. Now, you gave an indirect reference to it, I gave the potion its name. Upto jammi to decide who gets to post next. Of course, an easier way would be for you to just tell me where Bungy the Budgie lived, that way you get to post next!

yes... anyway, dold is what jammi had in mind, so despite all the technicalities, its the right answer. There are probably many other sleeping potions, dont u know?
Anyway, spock, we all know wat the correct answer is now. lets drop that question, and move on. Either someone tries finding out where Bungy lives, or sum1 thinks of a better question to pose the public. Yes?

actually, either tree or cage might be true, I wouldn't know. When I say, where does Bungy live, I'm thinking more in terms of an address...

well, its in the Harry Potter books, hence it counts... an avid reader shud have picked it up. Give it some time, someone is bound to know.
Oh, and Spock I hadnt noticed the invisible line saying you gave up. Sorry for harping on even after that...
