"Goblet of Fire : a goblet that turns out to be a portkey and brought 
Harry to meet Voldemort, again."

DuffyPoo now:

It wasn't the Goblet of Fire that brought Harry to LV... 'twas the Triwizard Cup.  The Goblet of Fire was the thing that the students who wanted to enter the Triwizard Tournament had to put their names in. It was shut back in its casket on October 31st after the fire went out...after the names were spewed out of it.

"But wait, Sirius was introduced in the first book at the very first 
chapter and yet brought under the spotlight after the third book. If 
this is also a pattern, would that mean who ever this halfblood 
prince is, he was already mentioned in the third book and later 
brings to the attention in sixth? Would he be the replacement of 
Sirius after his death?"

DuffyPoo now:
So who do we have to deal with...new in the third book:  

Stan Shunpike - Knight bus conductor
Ernie Prang - Knight bus driver
Florean Fortescue - owner of the ice cream shop in Diagon Alley
Remus Lupin - DADA professor
Sibyll Trelawney - Divination professor
Peter Pettigrew - traitor
Madam Rosemerta - Landlady of the Three Broomsticks
Cedric Diggory - Captain of the Hufflepuff team - dead now though
Cho Chang - Ravenclaw seeker
Roger Davies - Ravenclaw Captain 
Waldon Macnair - MoM executioner & DE
Some old committee member with no name
A boatload of Dementors
No first years are listed by name because Harry & Hermione missed the sorting that year

I can't think of any more off the top of my head

If JKR truly means Prince as being male...that leaves out Trelawney, Chang and Madam Rosemerta.  Of the lot that's left, Roger Davies and Remus Lupin?  Lupin has already made a comeback in OotP.
