had to merge two threads, as I only had one comment on one topic &
more on the Slugclub...

I really do not believe that Snape had any children...but the "no
daughter" comment vs. "no children" left me to wonder...

colebiancardi:

Well, Rowling loves to give us red herrings.  I think this is one of
them.  I cannot fathom Snape as a father – not the way he treats
Hogwart's students. Unless, of course, his child is a squib and he is
resentful
LOL

Potioncat:
I don't think it's ever said that Snape was in the Slug Club. It is
implied. Snape is at Slughorn's party; Slughorn has his arm around
Snape; Slughorn starts to make positive comments about Snape's potion
making skills; at the end of the book he says something along the
line of "I thought I knew him." Nothing concrete.

colebiancardi:
Well, Snape is currently the head of house for Slytherin and also
Slughorn knew Severus when Snape a student at Hogwarts.  As the head
of his house, Sluggie probably knew all of his Slytherin "kids", hence
his familar behavior with Snape.   And Snape was good at potions – so,
Slughorn mentioned it.  I just don't think Snape was in the Slugclub –
there is nothing to gain by having Snape in that club, imho.  I would
really love to know what Slughorn thought of Snape when Snape was in
his house as a teen....

Potioncat:
Were Lily and Severus comrades? Perhaps no more than Hermione and
Cormac.

colebiancardi:

Who the heck is Cormac? LOL
 

Potioncat:
Now, what do you make of the fact that Trelawney was at the party?

colebiancardi:

I think that all teachers were invited.  But not all students were. 
Sluggie is a professor and not to invite teachers would be a grave
oversite on his part.  I think that Slughorn is not an evil man, nor
is he a hateful guy – I could see him inviting all the professors to
the Christmas Party.  He cannot, obviously, invite all the students –
just those in his club
