Mystery of Caradoc Dearborn

Does anyone else share my obsession with Caradoc Dearborn, the one 
who "vanished six months after this, we never found his body..." in 
the picture (OotP p158 UK hb edition). Now there's a open ended clue 
if ever I saw one. I do believe he is the HBP in book 6, due to his 
name:  Caradoc was one of King Arthur's knights who was the son of 
Arthur's niece (therefore a princess and him a prince) whose father 
was a wizard.  He suffered the misfortune of having a life sucking 
snake attach itself to his arm and went into hiding - eventually he 
was rescued by his true love .... for full details of the story see 
http://www.bartleby.com/182/107.html Now the question for me is, 
where has Caradoc (the final c is either not pronounced or is more a 
soft ch, as in the German Kirche, at the end, it's a welsh name btw, 
echos of Lily) been hiding all this time and why. Because that's what 
I've got to explain if he really is going to be the HBP. 
Unfortunately, I have not got a clue what he has been doing.

His surname has two possible interpretations:

Lovingly born or expensively born - that could be expensive, not in a 
financial context but at a personal cost.

Well that's as far as I can support my gut feeling - which is pretty 
well not at all.  But I'll fly the lone flag for Caradoc as HBP until 
book 6 is published, which, IMO the publishers will hope will be in 
time for Christmas and so privately, do I.  I'm facing a very long 
plane journey at the end of the year and my dream would be to have 
book 6 to while away the time.
