Obviously, had he been a student went Slughorn was teaching and not an amazing professor himself, Dumbledore would have been invited to be part of the Slug Club! Though he had a bit of an unsavory past, at least the rumors claimed, Dumbledore was extremely bright and very advanced for his age. Even when he was a student, I'm sure the professors could tell he had a natural magicking talent and he would amount to greatness and Slughorn would have been unable to resist adding him to his collection. Now if Dumbledore would have joined willingly? That one's a little questionable.

Good choice! I think that you're completely right, Dumbledore definitely would have been at least asked to be part of the Slug Club. He's an amazing wizard and it was more than obvious that he would go on to do great things.

Oh yes! Slughorn would have recognized Dumbledore's potential for sure. I'd have to think that Dumbledore's talent was pretty apparent right away when he entered school. I think that the ~unsavory past you mention might have made him even MORE interesting to Slughorn.
