Yeah, I meant the class, not making potions in general. It's why I used 'Potions' as a proper noun.
That there were at least some details of ingredient interactions in the first year book does make me think that that isn't all NEWT level stuff.
In canon, we barely get any detail on the theoretical side of any of the subjects, but Potions class is often mocked by a fic's protagonist, be it Harry or an OC or SI, as being simple, or as easy as cooking. That's why I thought of this sort of (unjustified) description of the Potions class to be something of a cliche.
