' Cruel, sarcastic and disliked by everybody except the students in his own house ( Slytherin), Snape taught Potions.' - A description of Severus Snape. Among them were Tom Riddle, Gwenog Jones, Ambrosius Flume, Dirk Cresswell, Lucius Malfoy and, one of his absolute favourites, Lily Evans. Horace formed a club named the ' Slug Club', of which his favourites were members with himself at the centre, making introductions, forging useful contacts between members, and always reaping some kind of benefit in return. Slughorn was described as a good teacher, but chose favourites out of the classes that he taught, sometimes for their ambition or their brains, sometimes for their charm or their talent, and he had an uncanny knack for choosing those who would go on to become outstanding in their various fields. The Headmaster, and Slughorn's employer, was Professor Armando Dippet, who gave him the Potions master's office in the dungeons, though Slughorn hated it and described it as a ' water-closet.' At some point, he was also made Head of Slytherin House. Īround 1920, a wizard named Horace Slughorn, who had previously studied at the school as a Slytherin, arrived at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was employed as Potions master. Harry Potter: ' My mother.' Horace Slughorn: ' You shouldn't have favourites as a teacher, of course, but she was one of mine.' - Professor Slughorn talking to Harry Potter.
