    • The MuggleCast Pensieve segment, highlighting our last discussion of this chapter on MuggleCast #381, features some raspberry jam analysis!
    • Why don’t Dumbledore and Harry simply Apparate into Slughorn’s home?
    • Should Harry have so willingly trusted that Dumbledore was, in fact, Dumbledore, given the danger and uncertainty of the times?
    • What do we think of Dumbledore’s plan to use Harry to lure Slughorn back to Hogwarts—is it clever strategy or subtle manipulation?
    • What does it say about Slughorn that he isn’t aligned with Voldemort, yet refuses to take a stand against him?
    • Slughorn “The Collector” is one of the most morally gray Slytherins of the series
    • How does Slughorn’s casual bigotry—his need to say “You musn't think I'm prejudiced!”—reveal a subtler form of bias in the wizarding world?
    • Does Slughorn’s “collector” mentality mirror real-world networking culture? Isn't the Slug Club just Hogwarts’ version of a professional society?
    • MVP: What's the best perk Slughorn gets from his Slug Club alumni?
    • Lynx Line: Patreons tell us about a talent/accomplishment that would get them recruited to the Slug Club!
