YOU KNOW WHO DOESN'T BELONG IN THE SLUG CLUB...PROFESSOR SLUGHORN. HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING OF NOTE EXCEPT BECOME A HOGWARTS PROFESSOR AND CREATE THE SLUG CLUB. IF SLUGHORN WAS TEACHING HIMSELF, I DOUBT HE WOULD PICK HIMSELF TO BE IN THE CLUB. I THINK THE WHOLE REASON SLUGHORN STARTED THE CLUB WAS BECAUSE HE REALIZED THESE ELITE PEOPLE ARE MORE ACCOMPLISHED THEN HIM AND THIS WAS HIS OPPORTUNITY TO GET CLOSE TO THEM WHILE THEY WERE STILL YOUNG AND UNACCOMPLISHED. AND NO, I DIDN'T REALIZE I WAS SPEAKING IN ALL CAPS UNTIL RIGHT NOW AND I'M NOT GOING TO CHANGE IT NOW BECAUSE I'M DONE MY COMMENT.

I totally agree with you. I think that if Slughorn would teach someone who's excactly like him he wouldn't even care about him because he isn't really unique. He's just a normal teacher at Hogwarts who wants to be surrounded by people who are better than him.

Ha, I love this! This is so true. He would never have picked himself to be in the Slug Club. He doesn't do anything great except be able to make his house look like its been ransacked. He's just an ordinary person with ordinary talents.

Totally. I mean, ok, he's not stupid because he's a teacher but he's not really unique. He's just a normal guy with a average IQ and I think that he totally knows that this won't get him anything so he's trying to associate with famous people. And because he wants to be so famous he doesn't really get that he does something really wrong like with Tom Riddle and the Hocruxes. I mean, sure, Tom was charming but... idk, Slughorn shouldn't have told him.
and wow, that's a lot more than I wanted to write :D

This is absolutely true. While he was a good and competent professor, all he did was pick out people who he figured would go on to do something great to be able to say "I knew them when." All he does is piggyback of other people's success. He is very Slytherin that way; he is very cunning and knows how to pick them, but he really doesn't do anything for himself.
