Potioncat:
How about the half-blooded vampire....Prince Severus?

Actually, now that I think about it, Severus is a pretty good name 
for a vampire!

BTW, are we sure about this title?  There's going to be a heck of a 
mystery about this guy....I wonder if he shows up as far into the 
book as the prisoner of azkaban did in PoA?  Or for that matter, the 
actual goblet of fire had very little to do in GoF....
