...I have to tell you I see very little possibility of the Half Blood Prince
being the Trio.  Just look at the third book.  There really wasn't anything
roundabout or illusive about what it was headed. The title promised a
'Prisoner of Azkaban,' and we are given a fugitive who escaped from a place
known as Azkaban.  Rowling's titles tend to be rather direct, especially in
regards to the main focus and (notably) the climax of the book.  
Book 1 dealt with Harry's search for the Stone; Book Two dealt with the
mystery of the Chamber of Secrets; Book Three dealt with Sirius Black, in
all frankness, Book Four centered deeper around the Triwizard Tourament than
the Goblet of Fire, yet it was through that Goblet that Voldemort was able
to achieve the second body he sought, and begin restoring his old power, and
it was by the Goblet that Harry was able to return to Dumbledore. The Order
of the Phonenix centered heavily around the resistance to Voldemort.
If the trend is any indication, I think this Prince fellow is likely to be
quite a character.  When Rowling writes that there will be a Half Blood
Prince, I believe she means exactly what she says.  The sixth book will
feature a male of some royal lineage, who is of half blood.

Actually I agree with you that it's unlikely (though not impossible) the
trio is the HBP of the title, and your examples are very valid. However I
have had some emails and it was worthwhile saying that certainly the trio as
a unit is a royal group. Another person compared the Trio to the Trinity,
which is also three persons in one. 

Incidentally, I'm startled by one thing you said, namely "and it was by the
Goblet that Harry was able to return to Dumbledore." Surely the TWTrophy
wasn't the Goblet of Fire? Surely the trophy was a large ornamental cup
totally different to the Goblet?

And you said
>>>Incidentally, what do you think the odds are that the Prince will be an
adult?  And what do you think the chances are that the Prince will be an
aide to Voldemort, (as the Chamber of Secrets aided him,) as opposed to a 
force for good?<<<

I don't know who the Prince will be. However so far all the owners of the
titles have been good, in my opinion, although many will not agree. To
understand what I mean please read my essay.
1. The Philosopher's Stone liberated Harry from attachments to physical
wealth and health.
2. The Chamber of Secrets refers to the plexus sacralis at the bottom of the
spine. Once the serpent is killed it is a sacred place. Harry was liberated
from his karma there.
3. The Prisoner of Azkaban was Harry's Godfather, as is obvious (I still
think the word "God" means something special here).
4. The Goblet of Fire is a cup that judges people, just like the Holy Grail.

5. The Order of the Phoenix obviously signifies the power of resurrection.
6. I guess the Half Blood Prince plays a part in Harry's liberation of his
emotional ego. Listening to my subconscious "vibes" I get the impression he
is good, although he may start off being bad, like the Prisoner, or the
Chamber of Secrets. As I said in my post, I like the idea of the HBP being
the Prodigal Son, i.e. a person who realises the error of his ways and wants
to return to his origins in a state of contrition.

I'm only saying this because you ask, and because like everyone else I love
speculating. I'm not sure at all.

Thanks for your encouraging remarks.

Have fun!
