As you specifically asked: In response to, and (as a general supporter
of ANTITHESIS) hamfisted parody of, all the claims that we can deduce
who the HBP is from the few suggestions that we'll learn more about
this-and-that I've taken up the opinion that the Half-Blood Prince is
none other than Lily Potter.

...What?

My reasoning:
- It's been stated that we'll be very surprised at the character's
identity.
- While it initially may seem impossible, there's the possibility of
wordplay, and in any case some of the stranger brands of magic could
no doubt make the option feasible.
- JKR's shown her love of throwing curveballs.
- It's not any less workable than the theory that Dumbledore is the
HBP as he's on the cover, or that Snape is the HBP as there'll be more
background on him.
- I think it's funny.
