The titlings, again

Hi!  Sorry for the long silence...I took a trip for a few days ago, 
so I was only able to read your replies, and couldn't post any 
messages, until now. 
 
Anyway, here's the list of people that I think have a close 
relationship with Harry:
 
- Neville : My money's on him, since he's the only other candidate 
that can defeat Voldemort.
- Dumbledore : My second choice, although I'm not sure whether he's a 
pureblood or a half blood.
- Pettigrew : Hmmm...interesting. We don't know much about him, so he 
could be a half blood.  Still the word 'prince'  is way out of 
character for him, unless that's what Jo wants us to think...
- Lupin : Although he is a half blood, the word 'prince'... His 
poverty just doesn't fit with it.
- Hagrid : Half blood alright, but not a prince, even for the giants.
- The Weasleys : They are all pure blood, as far as I can remember.
 
The thing about the HBP that keeps bothering me is the 
word 'prince'.  I have this strong feeling that he's going to be a 
new character.  The first one that comes to mind is another member of 
the Potter family, but since Dumbledore has said that Harry is the 
last Potter (or something like that) from the start, the chances are 
slim. Therefore, I went with Neville.
 
Now, even though I put my money on him, I have some doubt about him 
being a prince. If he came from a royal family,  then I think his 
parents would be taken care of in secret, or at least in a more 
private hospital than St. Mungo's.  The only reason for me to vote 
for him is the fact that he is the other only candidate to defeat 
Voldemort. Kind of a weak excuse, huh?   : )
 
Anyway, I've read other theories surrounding Neville (frog prince, 
toad keeper, and so on) which lead me to think about Trevor.  As far 
as I can remember (and I can't check any of the books since I'm away 
from home), Trevor was mentioned on the surface in the first book, 
and disappeared into the background after that.  In some ways, this 
is similar to young Sirius who gave his flying motorbike to Hagrid 
and wasn't mentioned again until the third book.  The thing is, 
Trevor doesn't have a close relationship with Harry, which doesn't 
fit the pattern...
 
Unless!  What if I misunderstood the pattern?  What if the pattern 
is 'a person that WILL have a relationship with Harry in the book 
itself and in the future BUT NOT in earlier books'?  Unfortunately, 
that would expand the scope even more!
 
<sigh> My head hurts...
