They say that Rennet sets cheese in the time it takes to say The Lord's 
Prayer;  since that's only about 30 seconds, I'm not sure this will work.

Here is a Hogmany verse from the Carmina Gadelica, with cheese content:

Apart from that, any good charm or prayer to St. Bridget, patroness of 
dairy working, will probably do.  For it is truly said, "Blessed are the 
Cheesemakers"!

JKR has already stated that the HBP is neither Harry nor Voldie.  

Thinking like an onomastics herald for a moment:  the name "Potter" 
sounds like a rather earthly vocational surname.  So is there a Muggle 
g'g'g'grandfather back there?  Or is that a rather baroque reference to 
an ancient incident involving a pot in a magical situation, such as 
containing a dangerous djinn inside a ceramic amphora during the 
Crusades?  I just made that up, by the way.
