Ron also didn't buy the book and very easily could have gotten Snape's
book instead of Harry.  Unless you're saying Slug was in on the whole
thing and gave Harry Snape's book intentionally....bragging him up as
a potion-maker then only to pump up his ego and not because Slug
actually thought Harry was good at potions?

I don't believe Slughorn was in on it.  As far as the book finding its
way into Harry's hands instead of Ron, well, this is a wizard world we
are talking about - it could have been bewitched.  Or maybe it didn't
matter whose hands it got into -  Ron, as a friend of Harry's, would
have shared the secrets in the book with Harry and Ron is still a big
player in book 7 - he will be helping Harry with the Horcruxes.  but
again, just my opinion.  I don't believe in the Puppermaster!DD
theory, but I DO believe that certain things DD has done (or not done)
have been thought out throughly by DD.
