The evidence:
-JKR has said that Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince was 
originally the title of Chamber of Secrets, and that Chamber of 
Secrets holds more clues to the events of book 6 than any other. It 
is in CoS that we find out about Hagrid's past at Hogwarts. The only 
other big revelation in that novel is the one about Tom 
Riddle/Voldemort, and we know that Voldemort is not the HBP.

      Until JKR reveals who the halfblood prince is my bets are on Tom
Riddle!

      There is a passage in COS where Dobby tells Harry he was giving him a
clue about Tom Riddle, not Voldemort, because he had not changed his name
yet at that point. This clearly defines that in JKR's world Tom and
Voldemort are not considered one and the same. COS was about Harry and Tom
Riddle. I think HBP will be about Harry learning more about why Tom Riddle
became Voldemort.
