Yes. Too probable. ;-)

How about: Screaming man is not Snape's father. It's his 
*grandfather*, screaming at his mother. Screaming at her for 
bringing this little half-blood into the family, to the shame of all 
pure-blooded Prince's everywhere.

Remember Sirius's mother's portrait, talking about half-bloods 
as 'half-breeds'? And yet Harry assumes that 'half-blood Prince' is 
a grand sounding title. I don't think it is; not in the Prince 
family, and not in Slytherin House. Suppose 'half-blood Prince' was 
an insult that Snape was being defiant about? 

The brilliant notes in this book belong to - the half-blood Prince. 
That'll show everyone who calls me that!
