> Uh Uh - Slughorn returned to Hogwarts because he believed he would 
be in the most protected place, where DE's couldn't force him to join 
up.  Also, Hogwarts provided opportunity to have fresh young minds 
looking up to him, after a year in hiding even from his "fans".  IE 
Slughorn was looking after #1 - his own precious fat & pampered butt!!

You know, I have quite mixed feelings about Slughorn. His Slug club 
gives me creeps for some reason and I agree with you that he first 
and foremost returned to Hogwarts for protection.

But I quite respect him for the fact that he was NOT willing to 
provide Voldie and Co with his superb potion making skills or skills 
of any level.

He did not want to join and that qualifies him as at least not a bad 
guy in my eyes.

He did not have a strength of character to join OOP and fight? Oh 
well, at least he never embraced them in the first place ( as far as 
we know)

JMO,

Alla.
