Betsy  Hp:
I agree, Potioncat. I don't see young!Severus refusing to belong to  
the Club. He'd see the same advantages Hermione saw: a chance for 
an  outsider to get some good networking in. That Lily was in the 
club is  (IIRC) canon, so I don't think the Slug Club was sneered at 
by the student  body. (Sirius and James may have sneered, but then 
they had the advantage  of their family name, and Sirius was in the 
middle of refuting that kind  of old boy network anyway.)

Nikkalmati:


 I will point out Snape was very tolerant of Slughorn's manhandling  him and 
joshing him at the party.  I doubt Snape would have taken that  from just 
anyone.  It indicates a certain amount of familiarity and even  respect for 
Slughorn, who would have been his HOH.  Also, when Slughorn  says after the Tower "I 
thought I knew him", it echoes more than just having a  student in your 
classes; it implies he really believed he had insight into his  character.  I vote 
for Snape as Slug club material.
