I do not know if it is proper to post a reply here, but I'm sure the 
kindly listelves will point me in the right direction. I love the 
fact that it is just these 7 simple words. Nowhere does it say it is 
the book 6 title. So, it could be the title or it could be a clue to 
the title OR it could be a clue to something else entirely! But in 
the spirit of JKR and her website, I would hazard a guess it is not 
just a red herring. 

So, anyway, I'm concentrating on the half-blood Prince part. Is it 
someone we've met before? Is it Harry? Is it someone else? Prince of 
what/where exactly? The obvious interpretation of "half-blood" would 
be half-wizard, half-muggle, but it also could mean a half-breed, or 
even sharing one parent only (mother or father, but not both). Could 
this half-blood be related to Harry? Immediately, I pictured Mark 
Evans.
