Horace Eugene Flaccus Slughorn was born into an ancient wizarding family,the only son of doting and wealthy parents. Although a fundamentally goodtemperedboy, he was educated to believe in the value of the old boys’network (his father was a high-ranking Ministry official in the Department ofInternational Magical Co-operation), and encouraged to make friends ‘of theright sort’ once he arrived at Hogwarts. The Slughorn family is one of the socalled‘Sacred Twenty-Eight’, (a select list of the only families designated‘pure-blooded’ by an anonymous author in the 1930s) and while Slughorn’sparents were never militant in their pure-blood beliefs, they encouraged aquiet belief in the family’s innate superiority.Horace was sorted instantly into Slytherin upon arrival at Hogwarts. Heproved himself an outstanding student, and while he did not follow hisparents’ implied instructions to the letter (numbering among his friendsseveral talented Muggle-borns), he practised his own brand of elitism. Horacewas drawn to those whose talents or backgrounds made them in any waydistinctive, revelling in reflected glory, and dazzled by celebrity of anydescription. Even as a boy he was an embarrassingly loud name-dropper, andwould often refer to the Minister for Magic by his Christian name, happy toimply that the family were on closer terms with him than was really the case.
