I'm new here also, but not new to HP.  I started reading the books 
when the first two came out as paperbacks in the US.  So I've read 
and re-read all 5 too many times to mention.

Dumbledore is one of the wizards on my list of possibilites for the 
HBP.  We don't know much about his background.  It would certainly 
fit with his attitude of acceptance to muggle borns and others who 
are not pure bloods.

I've also thought of, in no particular order:

Dean Thomas (though I think JKR has ruled this out, with saying that 
his story won't be used in the books)

Seamus Finnigan

Hagrid

Firenze

Theodore Nott (we know from JKR's site that his father was an older 
wizard who was widowed--but we don't know about his mother)

Snape (we don't know much about his background either, except that 
his childhood wasn't a happy one)

This little tidbit of information should certainly keep us busy for 
a while.
