101 Reasons Not To Join The Slug-Club
Feb. 18th, 2006 02:46 pmInsights into Slughorn, or...
"101 Reasons Not To Join The Slug-club."
On first glance, Slughorn's one of the good guys. He supports Dumbledore over Voldemort (despite his Slytherin origins) and while he may have misjudged young Tom Riddle, his mistake is an innocent one. He trusted the kid too much.
But Harry had good reason to avoid the Slug-club. Dumbledore's warning about being "collected" seems odd. What's wrong with belonging?
Slughorn's motives stink. Oh sure, Slughorn does pave the way to power and he's clearly a good ally to have, but why does Slughorn do it?
( The key to understanding Slughorn is to recognize his frustrated ambitions. )
