Potioncat:
It took some courage on Slughorn's part to exclude the DE students 
from his club. Many of these kids were from powerful families, and 
Slughorn risked loss of patronage at best and danger at worst. He 
then challenged LV himself, by leading reinforcements into the battle 
of Hogwarts.

Potioncat:
I really just copied that part because I'm stunned that Alla said it. 
Now I realise how difficult it is to do, because I tried to pay a 
compliment to a different character and couldn't make it work.
