Maybe we have never met the HBP

Your point is interesting however there are some holes in it.  You 
say that before PoA we never heard of Sirius.  This is incorrect 
however because he is mentioned in the first book.  It was his 
motorcycle that Hagrid rode to bring baby Harry to the Dursleys.  

It seems to me that JKR slips people in to the books before they 
have an important role to play.  Therefore I think that this prince 
is someone we know.  My prediction is that it may be Mark Evans.  We 
know that Evans is Petunia and Lily's maiden name.  It doesn't seem 
likly that a child could have that same name and not play an 
important role later on.  Plus the way he's mentioned makes me 
suspicious.  Does anyone else have any thoughts on this?
