being smarter doesn’t help you make more powerful intelligence potions.
Huh, so are you of the opinion that all the useful potions have been discovered already, or that discovering potions does not depend at all on intelligence?
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.
