<snip> 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.<snip>

I really think you've got a point! I believe it's the CoS theme that 
is going to be important in the sixth book. I don't think Rowling 
meant for us to go looking for specific details or characters in CoS 
who could possibly be the halfblood prince.

That said, I have a theory of who this prince might be, and I have a 
strong feeling I might be unto something though I have no factual 
evidence to back it up :-) This might have been suggested already; my 
apologies if the name has come up (I've been away from the list for 
some time): The prince is of course... Mark Evans! It's just like 
Rowling to introduce a new, important character just in passing... 
(remember Sirius in PS/SS?) All we know about him is that he'll be 
eleven when Hogwarts starts up in the autumn, and that he is a brave 
little lad, having the guts to stand up to Dudley the bully. One of 
his parents might very well be magical, making him a halfblood.
