HBP minor candidates

It has been dizzying trying to read the various threads dealing with 
potential candidates for the HBP.  Here are a couple that have been 
mentioned but not discussed to death.  All seem equally plausible.

1) The Bloody Baron.  He sure has had a lot of page time for a minor 
character.  Why does he have silver blood (is it unicorn blood?) and 
why is he the only one who can control peeves.  There is a lot of 
back story left to be discovered about him. It would definitely be 
ironic if the Slytherin house ghost turned out to be a half-blood!

2) Viktor Krum.  I personally think it is highly likely that he will 
be the next DADA professor.  For all we know he is Bulgarian royalty 
and in any event he is treated like a prince because of his quidditch 
prowess.

3) The as yet to be named heir to the House of Black.  

What does everyone think?
