So Who Is That Half-Blood Prince Anyway?

[billroper]

With many people waiting for the release of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", there's going to be lots of speculation about who the other character in the title is. I can hardly refuse to contribute to the pile. :)

What if the "half-blood prince" is a new character, a first-year student who is heir to the throne of England in the Potterverse? Certainly he'd be a bigger celebrity than Harry, which would be a novel experience for Harry at Hogwarts. And imagine the discomfort of Malfoy and crew at having to deal with the half-breed.

It's probably all rubbish, but it would be interesting.

Rowling is on record as saying we've already met the Half-Blood Prince and that she almost used this title for an earlier (the second?) book in the series. It seems to me Seamus Finnigan is the most likely bet. Of course, making it Dudley would be rather interesting.
