Well, I need to re-read CoS before making a real decision on 
who I think the HBP could be, but in every other novel up to this 
point the title has revealed a completely new topic or person. A 
philosophers stone, a secret chamber, a prisoner, a goblet, an 
order....so my knee-jerk reaction is the Half Blood Prince is 
someone with whom Rowling hasn't touched much light on yet 
or hasn't mentioned at all. 

However, she almost named CoS 'Half Blood Prince' so..there 
must be substantial clues in this book as to who that is....We 
already know that Hagrid is a half blood so....there isn't really any 
mystery involved if it were him.
