a new theory on who HBP might be

Hi,
 Eventhough this has been done to death I just wanted to have a shot  
at guessing who the HBP might be.
  I think he might be the heir of Gryffindor, just as Voldemort was 
the heir of Slytherin. Many people assume that Harry is the heir, but 
it is not necessary because at the end of CoS Dumbledore only says 
that Harry is a true Gryffindor.
  So how this going to be foreshadowed in \CoS? I imagined at the 
beginning of writing CoS Jo might have planned that the heir of 
Gryffindor would come to Hogwarts asthe DADA teacher and at the end 
of it, will give him the sword to vanquish the basilisk. But once Jo 
realised the heir had a bigger role to play in the sixth book, she 
gave this job to Dumbledore and the sorting hat and wrote in Gilderoy 
Lockheart who has absolutely nothing to do in that book.
  So what will the heir be in the new book?  He will be either the 
new DADA teacher or the new minister of magic. I would vote for the 
latter, because Dumbledore had lot of problems finding a DADA teacher 
all these years, so if HBP were the one there must have been a pretty 
strong reason why he didn't materialise before this. So the new 
minister of magic will be the heir of Gryffindor and also the HBP and 
the lion-man, who will have a lot to do with bequeathing to Harry 
more of Gryffindor's powers.
