== Analysis ==
This is the first time Harry's persuasion powers have been truly obseverd, though as he was using Felix Felicis at the time, we are uncertain if he would be so persuasive without it. This is also the first time that Harry has spoken about his parents' death in this manner, and probably the only time without experiencing extreme emotion, knowing it will help secure Slughorn's memory and to fight [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lord Voldemort|Voldemort]]. Even in death, James and Lily are still able to battle the Dark Lord. Readers should recall some chapters back that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Albus Dumbledore|Professor Dumbledore]] said Harry was uniquely equipped to obtain Slughorn's memory. Dumbledore may have known about the Felix Felicis, though using it may actually have been unnecessary; Dumbledore knows that Harry having Lily's eyes, and Lily being one of Slughorn's favorite students, would be a powerful and emotional persuasion tactic. That, and being well plied with alcohol, is enough to coax Slughorn into divulging the memory; remembering Lily's sacrifice in fighting Voldemort also helped. Although Slughorn will have forgotten the incident when he awakes, he probably would have appreciated the irony that it was his own Good Luck potion that allowed Harry to retrieve a memory
Harry's first year at Hogwarts started in September after he turned 11-years-old, though this is the first time that his, Hermione's, and Ron's relative ages have been mentioned. Hermione, whose birthday falls in September, is nearly a year older than Harry, while Ron, who has a March birthday, is four or five months older than Harry and six months younger than Hermione. Harry's birthday falling in July means he is unable to take his Apparation test until the summer.▼
Slughorn's self-centredness also becomes more evident here. He mentions that all the mead he
Ron's failing the Apparation test by such a small margin is fully in character; his use of magic seems somewhat slap-dash and, perhaps, marginally competent at times. One wonders if the author's reason for his failure is a nod to idiom; "missed it by half an eyebrow" seems a very likely sort of colloquialism. And while Ron's magical ability can sometimes be marginal, his natural intelligence is becoming more overt when he suggests Harry use the good luck potion to get Slughorn's memory.▼
Hagrid's almost child-like simplicity is seen again. His reaction to most setbacks is to get drunk, which he manages quite quickly here. Hagrid's amazement at Aragog's children not affording him safe passage is also a sign of his innocence

▲Slughorn's self-centredness becomes more evident here. He mentions that all the mead he has brought is quite safe, he had a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/House Elf|House-Elf]] drink some from each bottle to ensure it was not poisoned. This revelation disquiets Harry, as it shows that Slughorn sees nothing wrong with risking a House-elf's life to protect his own. We can give him the benefit of the doubt, here, and assume that he had another [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Bezoar|Bezoar]] on hand in case a bottle was poisoned, though this is not mentioned. However, this rather callous display might lead Harry to be more involved with, or at least less dismissive of, Hermione's [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/S.P.E.W.|Society for the Protection of Elvish Welfare]].
