Sorry, I forgot to finish the thought earlier.  Slughorn went to 
Aragog's funeral with Hagrid and Harry.  Harry gets Slughorn to give 
up his true memory about Horcruxes.  Without the death of Aragog, 
Slughorn does not meet up with Harry and drink excessive amounts of 
wine.  In essence, the slug is caught in the Spider's web.  In the 
other threads of this sort, Snape lives at Spinner's End.  Snape and 
Dumbledore are setting a trap for Bellatrix and Voldemort when Snape 
takes the Unbreakable Vow.  Snape is gaining the trust of Bellatrix 
and therefore Voldemort.
