CoS was almost HBP: What does that mean?

that DOES exist in CoS as we have it?  Would Ginny still have used 
Riddle's diary?  Two mysterious diaries/journals in one book seems 
like overkill (which may be part of the reason JKR moved the HBP 
plot)."

Morgan here: One thing that fits with this theory is that if Harry had found the Half-Blood Prince's potions book in his 2nd year they could have used it to make the polyjuice potion when they went undercover to spy on Malfoy. My question is, if this plot line had been in CoS would that mean that Snape would have "betrayed" Dumbledore way back in book 2? If so, that explains why it had to wait until now.
