Hi,
 A cursory examination of the Christmas Riddles on JKR's site reveal 
this fact:
 Three of the riddles have the answers which together form the name 
of the book.
 The other three riddles have references to the trio.

 Taking the second groups first. All of them are just basic 
straightforward questions. Nothing much of riddles there. But two of 
the three questions can be very important in the next book. Consider 
Bristol. This will become important if the next book contains 
description of what happened on that fateful night when Voldie was 
vanquished. And Hermione's otter can come in handy if she is attacked 
by a dementor. A distinct possiblity. I can't figure out how corned 
beef sandwich will be helpful but maybe it suggests that Ron won't 
have much to do in the next book just as in book 5.

 As for the former set of riddles. These are poems but the most 
intriguing of them is definitely the one pertaining to 'prince'. Many 
have been debating the exact meaning of 'prince' to figure out who 
HBP is. But if the riddle is any clue  the prince is definitely used 
in the sense of son of the king, or heir to the throne or kingdom or 
whatever.
 Since it cannot be Harry or Voldie, who is it? I have a hunch that 
this will be a positive character and the lion-man might be him. But 
who?

Thanks,
Adi
