HBP Theories

<<<I think that "Half Blood Prince" refers to Colin Creevey, or perhaps
someone in Voldemort's bloodline (perhaps Salazar Slytherin?). Harry
discovered that Colin's father is a milkman, which sounds like a
muggle job for sure, so the Creevey boys are probably half-bloods
(but we don't know anything for sure.) >>>

Aggie:
I thought about Colin for HBP.  JKR told us in ~relatively~ uncertain terms
that his Dad was a muggle (being a milkman) but IIRC there is nothing on his
mum.  This could mean that she is/was a witch or she is dead, or she just
isn't important.  If it's the case that she's not important, then why is his
Dad important enough to mention?  Whilst I'm typing this I have just thought
that this idea is a no-no as he was the first to be petrified by the
Basilisk, thus making him a muggle-born!!  But does the Basilisk *only*
petrify muggle-borns?  Would it not 'work' on a half-blood too?  Perhaps
Colin's petrification was a mistake.

I did wonder if Colin's mum was the part that JKR had removed to be used in
book 6.



<<<<aboutthe1910s
It's my understanding that the Creevey's are muggleborn, not half
blood, as Colin has a normal muggle camera and has never heard of
pictures that move before he gets to Hogwarts.  Both the Creevey's do
seem a little to over-excited about everything in the wizarding world
to have grown up knowing anything about it.<<<<


Aggie:
That is true, and I agree with you. . .BUT. . . what if  he and Dennis are
half blood but just don't know it.  They would have grown up not knowing
anything about the WW but that doesn't alter their bloodline.  A bit like
Dean Thomas. . .

I have a pretty wild theory, so feel free to tear it up.
<SNIP>
What if Regulus was trying to get out because he had fallen in love
with a Muggle.  What if he had a son? His son would be a Half Blood
and a "prince", not in the literal sense.  He would be the Half
Blood Prince that would try to claim Sirius' inheritance!

If this is correct, then this new character would be rather upset
with Voldemort for killing his father.  Therefore, he would be more
than willing to join in the fight against him. On the other hand,
this "prince" might detest his Muggle blood just like Voldemort and
would decide to join the DE.

What do you guys think of my wild theory?



Aggie:
What a great, original theory!!  Don't think I've come across one on this
theme before!!

I think it has potential!!  I like the idea that the son could be on either
side!!

I have nothing else to add really!  Just thought I'd say Oh Goody, another
theory to get thrashed around!!
