Ally:

I think the HBP is definitely Tom Riddle, a half blood like Harry.  
JKR said she almost used the title for COS, and COS was heavily 
focused on Tom Riddle (as opposed to V).  She's also said somewhere 
that Book 3 and 6 would mirror each other, which makes me think we're 
again going to get a Riddle focus.  Who else makes sense as the HBP?
