My theory for the identity of the half blood price is that the half
blood prince is the it is Gordric Gryffindor. It would tie up some
loose ends from Chamber of Secrets nicely. We know that Salazar
Slytherin and Gordric Gryffindor had a falling out over the type
students admitted to Hogwarts. Slytherin wants only pure blood and
is strongly opposed Gryffindor and leaves. But why Gryffindor
more than the other founders? Maybe because Griffindor is a half
blood.
As we all know from the COS the heir of Slytherin is Voldemort.
That's why he can open the Chamber. Harry defeats the basilic by
pulling the sword of Gordic Gryffindor from the sorting hat.
Dumbledore tells Harry it is because he is a true Gryffindor. This
has always bothered me from COS. I am fairly certain that not just
any student from Gryffindor house could pull that sword out of the
hat. There is more to that story. But if Harry is related to
Gryffindor (a true Gryffindor)
There is a lot pointing to that in
the books. Harry is born in Gordric hollow (named for
Gryffindor). Harry not Neville is the marked by Lord Voldemort.
It is continuation of the original rivalry or split in the Wizarding
world.
Just a theory but I like it - I think it has a lot of symmetry.
