    Slughorn is a prime example of all the positive traits in Slytherin. His ambition while at the expense of others, was never malicious in nature, he was cunning and shrewd to see the potential in others regardless of blood purity.

    • @sammywoj7924

      Actually he used to think pure bloods were more talented than muggleborns( which is understandable, considering their unfair advantage of being born and raised in the wizarding world) until Harry’s mum shattered that perception

      Kevin Clement Yeah, but it’s completely harmless.
      Things he says world hurt to hear, but he’s quite easily swayed and open to people who contradict his views, and doesn’t seem that surprised when it happens. He’s also someone who isn’t willing to support the death eaters either, or really use his connections for political or extreme monetary gain. He’s quite harmless to honest. I think he’s someone who simply has views but doesn’t care enough to enforce them, which is why I could deal with it.

    Hello, interestingly, Horace Slughorn psychological portrait matches the so-called "inverted narcissist" type (or "narcissist by proxy"). Those people tend to stay on the back line and avoid competition, but enjoy the company of people they deem important or powerful. Furthermore, they tend to actively seek close relationships with grandiose narcissists (Voldemort has obvious traits of narcissism, along with antisocial psychopathy).

      It's because he uses them as a crutch. He is a professor and aligns himself with the students who do the best, and the students, wanting to get the best grades and recognition possible, are more than happy to oblige to joining his Club. Slughorn was a good man on the surface, but deep down, the man had his demons. Look at what it took to get the Tom Riddle memory out of him, even with everything that was going on around them at the time, when that really had nothing to do with his own more in-depth personal life, he just felt so ashamed of himself, possibly blaming himself for Voldemort even existing. The man is holding on to some really deep and dark pain.

      ​@@BlueAvocado3I agree, one of the reasons Harry was seemingly bad at potions was Snape constantly harassing him, likely leaving him unable to concentrate and making mistakes, plus Snapes teaching method appeared to be very poor indeed, in OOTP his "teaching" was summed up like so
      1, tell them what potion they'll make today
      2, put the recipe on the chalkboard
      3, say the ingredients are in the store cupboard
      4, do and say nothing until someone (Harry) makes an error
      5, bring it to everyone's attention and do your best to humiliate them.
      Snape appears to be a very good example of how someone who knows a subject well doesn't mean they would be a good choice to teach that subject.

    There is a slight hint that Voldemort remembered Slughorn in a positive way. Slughorn was offered many times to allign himself with the Death Eaters in the first war and always seemed to slip from their grasp with avoidance or very polite excuses. Yet he was never seriously persued for his avoidance, which Dumbledore briefly mentioned in the books. After reading the books and watching the movie I really got the feeling that Slughorn actually truly liked and cared for Tom Riddle. He seemed deeply upset with what he did by telling Tom how to create Horcruxes and while he was clearly ashamed for his part in it the way he spoke to Harry let me believe that he felt actually sorrow for Tom and never forgave himself.

    Slughorn: I knew I was forgetting something, oh well I suppose I wouldn't have had time anyway, I only had a few seconds before you showed up.

      We hear crouch Jr say what sounds like Moramorda at the World Cup so its easily probable that others have heard the incantation, seen the motion and this combined with the intent to cast it surely makes it possible to work it out. I bet its part of auror training for use when going undercover and fairly common practice for use in the way slughorn claims to make it appear death eaters have already been to divert them.

    Slughorn is one of my favorite characters. It’s so relieving to see a Slytherin that isn’t evil. Yeah he did make some mistakes, but he did what he could to rectify it to the point of battling Voldemort.
    He is a bit of an aristocrat, but he was a really good teacher, and placed no value on blood purity not hesitating to praise muggle borns who succeeded in their studies. He’s definitely pretty underrated
