colebiancardi:

see when I read that passage, I thought he meant Snape.  Afterall,
Nigellus would have seen what Snape was up to in the Headmaster's
Office and Nigellus did report to Snape on the trio's activities.  

I never got the impression that Sluggie was leading a pack of
Slytherins back into Hogwarts.  Ever.  I think JKR just made that bit
up, on the cuff.  If she had meant to write it in, but forgot to or it
got lost on the editing floor, that is too bad.  Perhaps I would not
have had such a bad taste in my mouth after finishing DH.
