I agree that Godric Gryffindor is the HBP. Reading back through all 
the HP books, JKR gives the following clues as to the identity of the 
HBP:

1) Gryffindor and Slytherin argued about who should be accepted into 
Hogwarts. Slytherin only wanted "purebloods." Gryffindor insisted 
that any child with magical abilities should be welcomed into 
Hogwarts. Why? Simply because Gryffindor is half-blood.

2) Gryffindor's colors are scarlet and gold. Scarlet is a color 
associated with royalty. Gold is also associated with royalty, for 
example, gold crowns, gold vestments, gold goblets.

3) Gryffindor's symbol is a lion. Think King Richard, the Lionheart. 
The male lion is usually called the king of the jungle. However, 
Gryffindor's symbol may be part of the family crest rather than his 
personal symbol.

4) Gryffindor also owned a jewel-encrusted sword. Only royalty could 
afford to have jewels adorn their swords.
