I think Rowling retconned this after the final book was released, saying Slughorn came back with a small army of slytherins to combat voldemort, to give slytherin a bit of positive exposure.

Not sure how that worked out specifically, but apparently it was a verified retcon.

She just said that because people were hating on the actress playing Hermione in The Cursed Child

I don't think the world is ready for software patches for books.

She wrote what she wrote, what even is a "verified retcon"?

She twitted "Harry should have been with Hermione". Like, lady, you wrote the story.

I'm not joking when I say that she once said

>Hogwarts didn't always have bathrooms. Before adopting Muggle plumbing methods in the eighteenth century, witches and wizards simply relieved themselves wherever they stood, and vanished the evidence.

The above is a direct quote

Lol. If you could do that, why even adopt modern plumbing. Complete waste.

I don't personally like it either, and in my headcannon it never happened.
