→Analysis: why Abraxas was brought in at all |
||
Dòng 33:
We know that Professor Slughorn is more than a bit of a social climber, and that he seems to cut off those people who he feels don't offer him an "in" into the higher-flying parts of society. The fact that he acknowledges knowing Abraxas Malfoy would indicate that there was some fame or accomplishment in Abraxas' past to attract Slughorn's attention. We never find out, though, exactly what that accomplishment is.
Abraxas is brought into the story, as far as we can see, only to cast a light on Slughorn and some specifics of his social climbing. In [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Half-Blood Prince/Chapter 7|an earlier chapter]], we see that Slughorn is willing to cultivate [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Marcus Belby|Marcus Belby]] as long as he has hopes of making a connection with Belby's still living famous uncle. As Abraxas is no longer alive and does not represent a useful connection. Slughorn is not particularly interested in those who had connections to him. We suspect that this particular shallowness in Slughorn's character is one of the things that Harry dislikes, and one of the reasons Harry avoids the Slug Club.
