#slughorn
love how the script writers got slughorn from creepy old dude who collects people like trophies and formed a weird obsession with Lily when she didn’t want to be in his club to she gifted him a goldfish
Slughorn vs Snape
They are both favouritism but one got praise for while another got name-calling.
Favouritism isn’t an issue but who they favour is
If Slughorn favour Ron and ignore Harry and Hermione . He wouldn’t be kind teacher
I’d be amused to see Harry try to argue with Ron over Slughorn favoring him though.
I’ve said this before, but Harry is subjected to wild extremes. Because he gets a lot of shit in life, some people try to make up for it with blatant favoritism, such that it’s no wonder Slughorn currying favor doesn’t register as all that unfair to some readers. But, while it might feel like it’s just balancing the scales, going too far helps to further warp Harry’s (and by extension, the narrative’s) sense of fairness.
