Good enough to price out a draw, obviously, but not a complete pot-sized raise.
To raise the pot, you always first include the price of your call. So in the above example, your call would make the pot $5, then you raise $5 more on top of the $1 bet to make it $6 to go.
In the OP's original question, the pot is .10 + .25 = .35. Your call is .25 more, making the pot .60, so a pot-sized raise is .25 + .60 = .85.

OK, put simply, from No Limit and Pot Limit Poker Rules:
4. The maximum amount a player can raise is the amount in the pot after the call is made. Therefore, if a pot is $100, and someone makes a $50 bet, the next player can call $50 and raise the pot $200, for a total wager of $250.

The blinds are $0.10/$0.25, you are UTG, and you click "bet pot", and the betting bar climbs to $0.85.
I don't get it. The pot added up is $0.10 + $0.25 = $0.35. If i bet the pot, i should raise an additional $0.35, which makes $0.70.
Where did the extra $0.15 come from? lol
