J.K. also said that the title didn't really make much sense anymore
when she'd finished with the book.. perhaps this is because she cut
parts about Riddle and his lineage? I think it's more likely that "the
prince" was either given a severely reduced role or discluded
altogether. This might indicate that the prince could be Salazar or
Godrich, too.
