Chapter Seventeen: A Sluggish Memory

[Bob(이강석)]

Dumbledore showed Harry another memory through the Pensive magic. In the memory, Voldemort visited his mother side uncle, Morfin, and stole his wand. After that, there was a case of murder in the mansion where Voldemort’s grandfather lives. Voldemort manipulated Morfin as a perpetrator who killed his father and grandparents, so Morfin got into Azkaban. In the next Dumbledore’s private class, Dumbledore and Harry went into the Professor Sluggish’s memory to see what happened in his class. When Sluggish’s class finished, Tom Riddle, alias Voldemort, remained in the class and asked him about Horcruxes magic, but he refused to answer. Dumbledore thought that the memory of Sluggish might have been revised, so he wanted Harry to find out the original memory.

Slughorn has something on his conscience. It's clear that he's modified his own memory with Tom Riddle, of which he seems too ashamed to accept as his own. His misjudgement that led to Tom Riddle's rendezvous with Horcrux is surely open to criticism from the Wizarding community for having provided Voldemort with a cornerstone to become the evil that he is now.
