Potioncat:
Well, I recognised the writing at once, but was thrown off by the Half-
blood part, by the book being so old and by Lupin's not recognising the 
name.

There have been many times (several times at least) when Harry hasn't 
recognised something or someone and besides, he liked the advice he was 
getting.

Lupin's not recognising the name reminds me of Lupin and Snape 
pretending not to recognise the names on the Marauders' Map. I wonder 
if he's telling the truth in this case?

Snape has lied before (gasp!) so maybe he's lying here.

However, I think it is supposed to be Snape's handwriting and he is 
supposed to be the one who made up the spells and he is the Half-Blood 
Prince.
