Professor Horace Eugene Flaccus Slughorn

1. Horace Slughorn was a pureblood wizard and the fact that he liked future influential students was because his parents always told him that he should only focus on those people.

2. He never wanted to be a teacher. But he did enjoy the job and the perks that came with it.

3. When he retired after fifty years of being a teacher, he didn't think he would return in that position ever again. He, later on, guesses the expression you shouldn't count your chickens before they hatch was true.

4. At one time Tom Riddle was his favorite student at least until he learned of what the younger man had become.

5. It took him many years to find other students he could consider his favorites and he didn't consider his favorite only because of their potion's abilities and it was their deaths that hurt him the most.

6. He was actually asked to join the Order the first time he just said no the second time he wasn't asked.

7. Sometimes he wished the Marauders were at his house but then they did a prank and he then regrets even thinking it in the first place.

8. Almost every member of the Black family was a student of his but he never liked most of them they had a big head and a dark soul. He only liked two of them and both died because of Voldemort.

9. Different from almost everyone else he didn't see only James and Lily Potter when he saw Harry Potter, he also saw Sirius Black and Remus Lupin in there too. Quite often that was.

10. The reason he returned to fight in the last battle was that he didn't want to lose any more students and because in the end, the Marauders were right there are things worth dying for.

11. Different from the other head of the houses the deaths of most of his students didn't hurt him that much but after all most of them were Death Eaters, so he doesn't think anyone is blaming him for it.

12. Despite popular believe he didn't think only about fame and money he likes a person's good qualities too.

13. He never learned if after his rebirth Voldemort wanted to kill him or requite him, they would refuse the second if it was.

14. He didn't participate in the first part of The Battle of Hogwarts because he decided it would be better to get reinforcements, he always had decided to join the fight.

15. Horace never considered his second retired until the day before he decided it was time.
