While Harry’s argument to Slughorn is ingenious and powerful, it’s also a low blow.

Slughorn should be brave enough to hand over the memory, knowing Lily would.

It’s like he was made for it.
So,it’s no surprise that encouraging and inspiring language comes to him naturally.

A person can work hard day after day and still get nowhere.
Only when believing in yourself do things change.
Harry is a testament to this.
However, he begins believing in himself and works hard teaching the D.A.
The reward is priceless: inspired students ready to defend themselves and carry on in his image.
