Just for kicks, here is what Webster's Dictionary has to say 
on "prince":
1 a : MONARCH, KING b : the ruler of a principality or state
2 : a male member of a royal family; especially : a son of the 
sovereign
3 : a nobleman of varying rank and status
4 : one likened to a prince; especially : a man of high rank or of
high standing in his class or profession

I thought this might help us clarify potential suspects!

Jospehine now:

Very useful! I think we should also include someone who *considers* 
themselves to be a prince, whether they are officially or not. I 
mean, it hasn't been clarified that Voldemort was in fact entitled to 
call himself a 'Lord', he may just have had the ego and self 
importance to do so. I'm sure Draco would bestow a title as important 
as 'prince' upon himself if he felt so inclined!
