I believe JKR said that the story line from CoS that would have dealt 
with the Half-blood prince was completely removed.  The only thing 
remaining in CoS that would relate to book 6 is that Harry "discovers 
somthing" that is somehow significant in book 6.  I could be wrong, 
but that is what I remember reading.

Also, I think the HBP is someone that has not been introduced yet.  
Each of the past titles of her books referred to something introduced 
in that particular book (with maybe an exception with Sirius Black 
who was briefly mentioned in book 1).
