Although Harry is a naturally intelligent and talented wizard, academically he is a rather lazy student, usually getting by on average or just-above average grades and often relying on Hermione's help. Potions, in particular, has always proved tedious and difficult for him, partially due to his strained relationship with Professor Snape. It is only when a subject especially interests Harry, like Defence Against the Dark Arts, interests Harry that he works hard and excels at it. For the first time, he is challenged to learn about Potions, after discovering a talented former student's innovative methods to brewing standard potions more efficiently. Harry is a non-traditional learner, and while Snape has ineffectively taught him Potions, the Half-Blood Prince, in a brief period of time, has inspired him to learn more than he has over the past five years, even though it is with unorthodox, short-cut methods. Although Hermione is outraged that he isdoes not following thefollow official instructions, a pattern that she somehow feels is equivalent to cheating, Harry has been given an alternative learning avenue that has aroused his academic curiosity and will serve him later in the book.
Although Hermione correctly identifies the three cauldron's contents in Slughorn's class, winning her high praise and House points, it is hardly surprising that she recognizes the Polyjuice Potion, having brewed it herself during her second year (in ''Chamber of Secrets''). Unfortunately, for herHermione at least, the results were less than successful when she accidently added cat hair insteadrather ofthan human to her portion.
 
This chapter showsdrops another hint that Harry is developing feelings for Ginny. In the first Potions class, when Harry smells the love potion, he smells "''treacle tart, the woody smell of a broomstick handle, and something flowery he thought he might have smelled at the Burrow''". And later, when the trioTrio meet Ginny, Harry, "''caught a sudden waft of that flowery smell he had picked up in Slughorn's dungeon''". Hermione mentions in class that the love potion has the scent of the thing that attracts us, and is different for each person; she runs off the scents she has detected, but stops short before mentioning the third, which would possibly identify someone she cares about. By this stage in the series, we should certainly know Harry's feelings about broomsticks and treacle tart, and we are unsurprised by Hermione characteristically identifying one of the scents as fresh parchment. Harry's noticing Ginny's scent in the potion, even though he does not yet identifyrecognize it himself, is a sign that he is attracted to her despite his unawarenessbeing ofoblivious theto that fact.
