I disagree! I think Lupin would make the perfect "Half Blood Prince".
 Look at the canon:

1. Remus of ancient myth (along with his brother Romulus) was a prince.

2. According to JKR's latest interview: 
Siriustar: "Is Remus a pureblood?"
JKR: "Half blood."

3. We have no understanding of Remus' mysterious past. Knowing JKR's
penchant for the underdog, and how she loves things to be not what
they seem, I think she'd absolutely love the idea of scruffy, shabby,
tattered Remus' secret  true identity to be that of  an exotic and
sophisticated royal.  If the Half Blood Prince is, indeed, a character
we have seen before, rather than a newly introduced one, my money is
on Lupin.
