>>>I don't understand why so many people think Godric Gryffindor is 
going to turn out to be the half blood prince. Gryffindor wouldn't 
have been half blood. If he was then Salazar Slytherin wouldn't have 
been best friends with him (before they fell out).  I think if the 
term 'half blood prince' refers to a literal prince, then it wouldn't 
be Gryffindor. The four founders of hogwarts had to be equal. If 
Gryffindor was a prince then he would have been the leader of the 
school. 

>>>I think the lion-like charater described by JKR could be Gryffindor, 
or he could be the half blood prince, but it isn't going to be both.
It could be that lion-man is a decendant of Gryffindor, and also a 
decendant of a wizard royal family.

I can't speak for everyone else, but for me I have read the title as the "champion (prince) of half-bloods", rather than "a prince who is half-blood".  I think the HBP and GG are one and the same.  I suspect we will "meet" him in the pensieve that we see on the cover of the US HBP.
