his ability to be an instrument of change for the better. Where honor
and valor are how a person is measured, not by birthright.<
Betsy:
I completely agree that Harry will *act* as a king (in the ancient or
mythological meaning of the word), not actually become a literal
king. JKR has not put any signs of royalty in the WW (no reference to
an actual noble class), so it would be awfully jarring if someone
suddenly pulled a crown out of nowhere. Which is why I strongly
suspect the half-blood prince will either be an actual half-blood
(meaning human + non-human) and the title comes from the non-human
side of the family, or he's from a foreign land. (If of course, the
half-blood prince is an individual at all.)
