I would have totally learned the HBP's way of doing things. I don't see a difference between learning the book way or learning a better way from another student who was probably better at potions than the person who wrote the textbook. There are potions makers and potions inventors, after all. If you came across a food recipe in a book, and next to it were some notes on additional spices, etc. that would make the meal even better, wouldn't you make the meal with the spices? You may not be the chef, but you can still be a good cook.
Some people are just naturally good at following directions, while others are brilliant and can come up with an entirely new way to go about something. Not all scientists are inventors. Some are just lab techs.
