The identity  of the HBP leaped out at me when I read the description of the 
constellation  Leo. Its principal star is
REGULUS, which the article pointed out means  "little prince."

I submit that Regulus Black is not only alive,  but is the Half-Blood Prince; 
and in book 6 we will discover that the House of  Black isn't as "toujours 
pur" as advertised. It also opens up all kinds of  tinned invertebrates about 
the disposition of 12 Grimmauld Place and the  future of the Order.

* Cathedral: Will we be hearing anything from Sirius Black's brother, 
Regulus, in future books?
JK Rowling replies -> Well, he's  dead, so he's pretty quiet these days.

But of course as others have said, the HBP doesn't necessarily have 
to be alive, so we'll just have to see how that turns out.
