Discovering new potions, sure. That doesn't help you brew a more powerful intelligence potion.

In fact, there may not be such a potion; IIRC Harry resolved to research such things early on, so presumably it's either unavailable or beyond his skill level.

Also, if a potion can let you discover new potions, wouldn't potion-makers already have done so? It depends how narrow potion-space is, I guess ... it seems to be wider than in canon.
