I was just beginning to re-read (for what seems to be the 
gazillionth time) Chamber of Secrets, when I got to an interesting 
point in the book. Chapter Seven (Mudbloods and Murmurs) introduces 
yet again, most strongly, the idea of blood purity. 

JKR has said multiple times now (can't remember where at the exact 
moment) that HBP and CoS would be mirrors of each other. I think 
that the key feature of CoS is obviously the blood issue. None of 
the other books have blood purity being such an incredibly important 
issue. The entire sequence of events in CoS revolve around each 
student's magical lineage. 

I think what JKR is telling us is that in book six, with Voldemort 
completely out in the open, it's all going to come back to the key 
issue of blood purity. The entire book's events are going to center 
around this, and the ultimate end to the series will come down to a 
question of blood. 

I can't really think of any other relevant conjecture's about what 
book six will contain, but with this in focus, does anyone else have 
some guesses?

BTW- No one has yet touched my post on Theodore Nott as a 
possibility for the HBP, and in response to any hope for Colin 
Creevey as the HBP (if Prince is still being interp'd as royalty) 
Mr. Creevey is a milkman, and they're 100% muggle as far as has been 
revealed
