Wrong.  Book 2 was NOT called HBP because the story wasn't about the HBP.  
Therefore the HBP could very much be a character that didn't make the story at all.  
It's obvious the story didn't revolve around the HBP (hence the title change) and since 
we can assume the HBP was likely a small character in CoS it may have also been 
edited out.  If you notice, Books 1 and two received the most editorial "trimming" 
because they were published before JKR was a standard everyday acronym.  

*sighs and decides to link to my little example of 'thinking outside the box' on the 
identity of the HBP*
