The word "prince" in OotP

[inkling108]

No: HPFGUIDX 103924

For whatever it may be worth, the only instance of the word 
"prince" I can think of in the series comes in OotP, p. 837, US 
version:

"Five years ago then," Dumbledore continued..."You arrived at 
Hogwarts, neither as happy or well nourished as I would have 
liked, perhaps, but alive and healthy.  You were not a pampered 
little prince, but as normal a boy as I could have hoped under the 
circumstances..."

Of course, "prince" may just be a figure of speech in this 
instance, but it does occur in a very crucial discusssion about 
Harry's past.  Possibly the choice of words was more than just 
coincidence?  We know that Harry is not the HBP, but maybe -- 
just maybe -- this supports the theory that James came from 
some kind of royalty?  Anyway just thought I'd throw it into the pot.

P.S.  Please forgive me if this has already been mentioned 
somewhere, I am having a hard time keeping up with the flood of 
posts.
