As far as I know the only quotation from Half Blood Prince is:

"(He) looked rather like an old lion. There were streaks of grey in
his mane of tawny hair and his bushy eyebrows; he had keen yellowish
eyes behind a pair of wire-rimmed spectacles and a certain rangy,
loping grace even though he walked with a slight limp." 

When I first read this I immediately thought it must be referring to
Godric Gryffindor and he is the Half Blood Prince. I'm not sure why I
thought this, maybe it's the "old lion" part and we know the symbol of
Gryffindor, and it doesn't seem like the description of a villain. 

But before anybody else pokes a hole in my theory let me do it first,
 spectacles have been around for 500 years but not a thousand. So I
guess I could sum up everything I wrote with 3 words, I don't know.
