I'm amazed. Repulsive? What's repulsive about him
(unless you get some sort of sinister vibe about his
club, which we've discussed before)?

A fat jovial old guy, a bit on the vain side, so what?
How can he be more repulsive than Umbridge? Than Gaunt
guys? Than Kreacher?

My imagination always brings up Peter Ustinov when
Slughorn appears in the book, so repulsive is about
the last adjective that comes to mind.
