Hagrid:

> 2) The directions that Harry followed reminded Slughorn of Lilly's

Tone:

If you were trying to endear yourself to somebody, would you relate 
their skills to a mother he loves but never knew, or the teacher he 
hates that abuses him every chance he gets?  Slug was just playing the 
correct cards to win over Harry, or atleast trying... I seriously doubt 
any SHIP between Lily and Snape, though it seems more and more likely 
that Snape fell for Lily from afar.
