-	There is new information about the HBP on JKR's website.  It sounds
-	to me that the HBP (who ever it is) was not in CoS at all after she
-	re-wrote it.  She has left another "foreshadowing" comment.  

Amey:
She says that the *HBP was not at all a part of story of Riddle Diary and Basilisk, there is no trace of HBP left in CoS*. Also, *TR is not HBP*. So that dashes at least 2 of the theories mentioned here. 
But one important thing is *it relates to a discovery Harry made in CoS that foreshadows something he finds out in Prince*.
So I am starting on finding out the discoveries he made in CoS (apart from anything about TR’s diary and TR):
1.	he is parseltongue
2.	Slytherin started the actual Pure blood mania
3.	LV passed some of his powers to Harry in GH
4.	he is a true Gryffindor (pulled out the sword from Hat)
Thinking of all remaining theories discussed here about HBP, point no.1 & 2 tell us nothing except pointing to Slytherin (as Basilisk is King of Serpents). But as HBP is no way connected to Basilisk, I think we can rule this out (I am not ruling out Slytherin as HBP). 
Point no.3 is discussed in more or less detail in all the books after CoS, but CoS is where we read this first. But I doubt what it means here as both Harry and LV are not HBP. Maybe the HBP is a snake, or snake animagus.
Point no. 4 is again not that good, just mentioned in book for showing that Harry is true Gryffindor. It tells nothing about Godric Gryffindor, but in book, we learn that Slytherin and Gryffindor had a fight on the pure blood issue, and so Slytherin left. (I am too tired right now to make sense of what this point means).
I think I will be reading CoS again now to get all discoveries Harry makes. 
Any additions anybody????
