HiH Clubs

I see an argument for sorting him into Huffelpuff. I know Emma has a problem with his favoritism and while it is a big part of his personality, I argue that he shows favoritism in the way a Hufflepuff shows loyalty. He rewards his best (or richest!) students because he is loyal to them and they are loyal to him (by granting him favors and giving him gifts). A Hufflepuff must be loyal but how they choose their loyalty is up for discussion. He does care greatly about all of his students and creates a great learning environment through encouragement. This nurturing aspect of him is quite a Puff. Slughorn places a lot of emphasis on his personal relationships, which is always a key point for Hufflepuffs. Just because he thinks some people are better than others doesn't mean he can't be a Hufflepuff. Remember Zacharias was a bit condescending, too.
