I realized after I posted this that it doesn't make much sense. What I
meant was that some of DD's given names as well as the large number of
names sounds aristocratic (ergo "prince") and the interest in Muggles
ties in with "half blood." Also Dumbledore is an important character
in CoS, the book for which JKR originally considered this title, and I
can't think of any other character the title might apply to.

Carol, who is going to bed before she says anything else incoherent or
unintelligible
