Why Did Dumbledore Need Slughorns Memory

Tom however lingered behind and then asked Slughorn what the professor knew about Horcruxes. The fog cleared and the subjects in the memory did not appear to have any idea that anything odd had happened.

If Dumbledore discovered and destroyed a Horcrux already why does he need the memory.

. Because I believe Dumbledore used Legilimancy the first time he tried to get the memory from Slughorn which is how he came to acquire the altered memory. It is possible that Dumbledore only knows for sure that the ring contained a powerful curse. As it was late Slughorn dismissed his group of students.

I believe Dumbledore either implies or Rowling implies that Dumbledore neither wants to force the issue with Legilimancy both because he doesnt want to letforce Slughorn to leave to avoid Dumbledore further and. However Slughorn forgets to put a Dark Mark in the sky above the house and it is apparent to Dumbledore that it is a ruse. However i think retreiving the whole memory seemed to make more sense in the.

He was afraid that staying in Hogwarts would bring him into further pressure from Dumbledore to reveal his shame the true memory with him. When they do Dumbledore seems shocked to learn Voldemort made horcruxes. The second one is Slughorns memory where Tom is fifteen or sixteen years old and asks Slughorn about Horcruxes.

The real memory may also contain important additional information that they could use to defeat. Why did Dumbledore need to get the memory from Slughorn about the Horcruxes. Dumbledore was a teacher before anything else.

The memory was important for Dumbledore I think for two reasons 1 to make sure he was right and 2 so that Harry could fully understand what exactly Horcruxes were. Just then the dense fog filled the room once. The memory is said to be needed because it contains valuable information that is needed to defeat him.

Thats the whole reason Dumbledore is so focused on hiring him. The result is that they know that Voldemort uses Horcruxes. Dumbledore needed Slughorns memory in order to confirm his suspicion that Voldemort sought a seven part soul.

But AD still wanted to see the whole memory which only included Slughorns explanation about horcruxes. The first memory was when Dumbledore goes to the orphanage to tell Tom about Hogwarts and give him his letter. Though we later find out that Slughorn has tampered with this memory because it brings him great grief and shame to remember the truth the fact that Dumbledore reveals the tampering to a student like Harry could have been dangerous.

He may have suspected that it was a Horcrux but needed the memory to confirm this. I think that should have been enough for AD to conclude what Voldemort did. Slug definitely gave AD the memory before Harrys sixth year.

He needs to get the untampered memory. Knowing that Dumbledore is coming to ask him to return to teaching at Hogwarts Slughorn quickly stages his temporary residence so that it appears as though a violent intrusion by Death Eaters has occurred. But Dumbledore didnt know how many there were.

I think the simple answer was to get a number - see Chapter 23 - Half Blood Prince What I dont understand though just out of curiosity I mean would one Horcrux be much use. But Dumbledore didnt need the memory to establish that Voldemort was wearing the ring at the time because Dumbledore was there in the school to see it for himself. He already knew that Voldemort had created at least two Horcruxes for he and Harry had destroyed The Diary and The Ring.

So Tom is eleven years old then. I believe he also wanted to confirm whether the current Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher was retiring since he was interested in the job. In order to get the memory he needs from Slughorn Harry drinks the Felix Felicis in order to get good luck a kind of performance-enhancing drug for accomplishing magical tasks.

I would guess that Dumbledore using his authority as headmaster ordered or requested Slughorn who in effect worked for Dumbledore to divulge the memory perhaps threatening disciplinary action if he refused. 6 level 1 Versipelia 3y Ravenclaw Youre right he knew multiple Horcruxes were made. In the book the word Horcrux was mentioned the first time Dumbledore and Harry viewed the memory.

Did Dumbledore know about Horcruxes. Dumbledore didnt have Slughorns memory until probably the 1980s Slughorn only tampered with it well after Voldemort graduated and moved onto greater darker things. Why he thought Slughorn was a good authority for this Im not sure but he probably trusted Slughorn more than the other teachers as part of Slughorns exclusive club.

Horace Slughorns modified memory. In the half blood Prince Dumbledore tasks Harry to find out Slughorns secret. In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Dumbledore orders Harry to retrieve the memory about the talk with Tom RiddleVoldemort from Slughorn.

Why do they not know this before.
