 Interestingly, if you look on her site at the list of FAQs about 
the  books, one of the questions has a hyphen in Half-Blood Prince.

Becki has both versions;  (lucky girl!)

Without going through many pages looking for the words Half-Blood or 
Half Blood,  I went directly to the one I know to be there, at the 
end of OotP, during the speech telling Harry about the prophecy and 
that he (LV) chose the "half-blood", like himself.  Both versions 
have the hyphen.
