I've been following some of the speculation recently, and also like the idea
of Hagrid being the HBP. After all, he is a half-blood, and does play a
significant role in CoS. So I'm putting 50% of my vote behind Hagrid.

The other 50% I'm saving for someone that I haven't seen mentioned yet (I
may have missed it). What about Godric Griffindor? He's definitely a force
in the series (sword in CoS), and I think the time might be ripe for him to
"make an appearance", so to speak. We don't know anything about GG's
parentage, so he could very well be a half-blood. The other factor that I
find interesting is the fact that royalty has yet to make an appearance in
the HP books (going off of memory here) with the exception of the "Lord"
title for LV. Lord is a lower designation than king (I don't remember the
exact progressions), so I don't think that the "prince" title applies to Tom
Riddle as an indication of his later status as a "Lord".

Given all of the GG references in the series to date, you know he has to
have a presence sometime. I'm thinking it is in book 6. I just hope it is
coming out soon. I've about worn out my existing HP books from re-reading
them...
