Ms. Luna here,
I have thought all along that the HBP was going to be either an illegitimate child of a 
weathly family in the WW, or someone like TMR whose parents *broke up*/ divorced but 
not before producing a child from the union.  But, I have never considered Sirius and 
Snape being half-brothers..that is an very interesting theory!
