What does Oberon realize when he sees Demetrius following Hermia?

The short answer to this is that he realizes that Puck has put the love potion the eyes of the wrong man.


Puck was supposed to put the potion in Lysander's eyes.  But instead, he put it in Demetrius's eyes.  That is why Demetrius is following Hermia.


To correct the miskate, Oberon tells Puck to go and find Helena.  Puck is supposed to bring her back.  Oberson says that he himself will put more potion in Demetrius's eyes.  This will make Demetrius fall in love with Helena and all will be well.


Of course, it doesn't exactly happen that way...
