Is it possiable that VL wasn't concerned about anyone finding the 
horocruxs, and so didn't worry about Slughorn. But after he found out 
one of his horocruxes had already been destroyed(ie:the diary, even 
though it was an accident) he started getting more concerned and 
decided that Slughorn had to go?
