DD=H B P=Dudley Dursley is the Half Blood Prince

 Support for Dudley being the H B P. 

"What we know" about Petunia to this point:
(a)	Petunia is upset that her sister is a witch
Why?
(b)	Petunia knows quite a bit about the WW
How?
(c)	Petunia took Harry in as a baby
Why?
(d)	Petunia has spoken with DD in the past
When?
(e)	Petunia's surgically clean kitchen is mentioned numerous 
times
You don't have to hit me over the head JKR
 I get it you want 
us to see the very, very clean kitchen
Why?

Using "what we know" I set forth the following theory:

Petunia is a mere squib that becomes quite jealous of her precious 
sister, whom their parents are so happy with, who is actually a 
witch. Petunia becomes as hateful towards the WW as to her sister 
because of her jealousy. Petunia decides to get as far away from the 
WW as possible and finds the perfect man who also detests these types 
of people but for a different reason. All the same they are both 
happy to share in this common resentment. Petunia being a squib can 
learn to do some magic, via her miraculously clean kitchen. Petunia 
has a son whom she never even thinks to be in danger of becoming 
magical until she receives a letter from DD about taking Harry when 
he's dropped off at her doorstep. Petunia is under no obligation to 
take Harry so something pretty convincing was in that letter from DD. 
What convinced Petunia to take Harry unless DD included a little 
bribe per se along with the information that the school's quill has 
indeed registered her son as magical at his birth. DD informs Petunia 
what triggers a small child's magical talents and ensures her that if 
she takes precautions and accepts Harry, that Dudley will be 
overlooked when sending out the Hogwarts letters. Petunia agrees to 
take Harry.

Let's move on to Dudley
 the pampered little prince of the half squib 
blood half muggle blood Dursley couple. What do we know about Dudley?
(a)	Dudley is exceptionally spoiled
(b)	Dudley is beyond spoiled when he gets upset
(c)	Dudley had his eyes covered during a Dementor attack
(d)	Dudley even blinded describes better than Mrs. Figg the 
details of a Dementor attack
(e)	Oh and Dudley's aunt is a witch

Skipping over the obvious treatment of Dudley and the quite likely 
reasons as to why, I will move on to what Dudley could have seen when 
the Dementor attacked.  The first thing that comes to mind would be 
what happened to him at the zoo. It isn't as much what happened to 
him but what he thought happened to him and why. The second would be 
Hagrid bursting into the hut on the sea, which startled Dudley awake 
and asking where is the cannon, along with more magic that directly 
attacks him giving him a pig's tail. The third would be the bit of 
magical candy that was so graciously left for Dudley by the twins 
that again caused Dudley some definite nightmares. The last and best 
would be little Dudley walking in to see mommy cleaning the kitchen 
magically. This last one about mommy cleaning the kitchen along with 
Harry threatening Dudley right before the attack by the dementors is 
my favorite. Dudley is as scarred if not more so than his father of 
magic. Just look at all the reactions from Dudley about magic 
throughout the books but add to that Dudley's latent fear that his 
own mother may be magical.

What would be more ironic than to have the very person that is afraid 
of magic become magical?
