I think Minerva McGonagall would have been a member of the Slug Club, had not the Slug Club been only boys at that time, apparently. She is obviously a very intelligent woman, for one thing. She also has strong leadership abilities, which I think are something Slughorn would look for.

On top of that, she is a powerful witch, who was able to become an Animagus, which is supposedly not that easy. Another piece of evidence for this is the fact that she fought in the war against Grindelwald, and played a vital war. I think Minerva would make an excellent member of the Slug Club - if she deigned to join!

You're so right about McGonagall. She is a woman of business. Although she may be a bit stern, she's very responsible and knows where her priorities lie. She is also a very important part of the wizarding world in regards to the two wars against Voldemort, and she's clearly a skilled witch as she teaches at Hogwarts one of the tougher subjects (in my mind). She also knows how to command order and respect in others rather fast - although I wish I could know what she was like as a young girl - probably much the same, as she had to live through some hard times (supposedly).

Most definitely! McGonagall is a BAMF. There is no way she could have gotten to where she did without being a standout student at Hogwarts. She was unique in her ability to be an Animagus.

I do wonder, though, whether or not she would have accepted. In my mind, she seems like someone who would have seen right through Slughorn and not have wanted to bother with the distraction on the club.
