HBP and COS

Almost a year ago there was a thread focused on what scene JKR told 
S. Kloves (screenwriter for HP movies) not to cut from COS because it 
was important for the series. Now there is all this talk about the 
HBP and, primarily, who the HBP might be. Is it possible that the 
scene in COS where S. Finnegan reveals his background (i.e., that he 
is a half blood) is the scene JKR saved from the cutting room floor? 
This would make sense and it would also explain why both SS and COS 
produced rumors that JKR was telling everyone involved to keep scenes 
with Finnegan in the movie (which I had always explained away as 
rumors inappropriately attributed to Finnegan and aimed, more 
correctly, at Neville). But...with all this HBP stuff....

Anyway, I am not really interested in the movies. I am just wondering 
if Seamus would make sense as the HBP. It is interesting to note that 
the most famous translation of Beowulf (a story about a prince who 
becomes a monarch) is written by a gentleman whose first name is 
Seamus (coincidence...I think so, but nonetheless, JKR might know 
this, she studied at University). Other than that, why would Seamus 
be a prince? I guess I would have to say, why would anyone be a 
prince? There really hasn't been much talk of royalty at all in the 
books.

Just a thought that came to mind
