So... if the potion can be scooped out by goblet, why does Dumbledore *drink* the stuff? Why not empty the goblet on the floor or something?
Presumably it's part of whatever spells are on the stuff that it just teleports back to the basin if you try? Like when Harry tries to Conjure/charm up water afterwards it just disappears before it can be drunk, so he has to scoop it out of the lake and set the Inferi off?
