I am so glad I finally wandered over to this website.  I am amazed 
at the number and sometimes overwhelming verbosity of the posts.  I 
scanned through several pages and wanted to weigh in with my two (or 
three) knuts. 

My first choice for HBP is *Lupin* because of JKR's comment in March 
that he is halfblood and because the Mauraders seem to gain 
signifance in each book. My second choice is *any DA boy* that we 
can't rule out [Michael Corner, Richard Davies, etc.] but not those 
that we could specifically choose.  I think it would be very like 
JKR to use a youthful character to keep the young audience 
interested, but not one that readers could pick with available 
info.  My third choice was *Mark Evans* because of the odd 
coincidence of the name in Petuna's neighborhood, but when JKR 
offered on her website to explain his "significance," I've decided 
he's too obvious.
