I would certainly argue for Professor Slughorn to be in Ravenclaw. He’s extremely fond of his Slug Club, and while Ravenclaws can definitely lean towards being on the loner side of the social equation, when they socialize they DO like to surround themselves with other like-minded people. Also, Professor Slughorn greatly values witches and wizards who have accomplished great things, regardless of their age, gender, House, physical appearance, and so on. Ravenclaws are usually very welcoming to all people who have something interesting and unique to share with the world, and Professor Slughorn possesses this trait exactly. I also think that his intelligence is something to behold; to be a Potions master takes a great deal of patience, intellect, and revere for the subject. When Ravenclaws study, they STUDY, and throw themselves completely into whatever it is they’re researching or working on. I can see why Professor Slughorn was Sorted into Slytherin, but his rational thinking, his passion for his research, and his affinity for surrounding himself with like-minded people make him a great fit for Ravenclaw!
