When Harry Potter took the potion, he had the sensation that 'Felix' knew what it was doing and that he needed only follow its inspiration, however unlikely the approach seemed as a means of accomplishing his goal. It indeed led him into a near-freakish but plausible set of circumstances in which all the right choices seemed obvious to him. Along the way, without even meaning to, he also accomplished some minor side goals, such as breaking up Ron Weasley's bad relationship with Lavender Brown, and destabilising Ginny Weasley's relationship with Dean Thomas to give Harry more of a chance with her.[8]
