Just to make a point, that on the page before it is canon that
Hermione says "...I was right about Eileen Prince once owning the
book.  You see...she was Snape's mother."  It is over the page that
Harry cuts her off while she is saying that Eileen gave birth to
Snape.  I think that is a substantial argument that Snape is the
HBP, and is the person who identifies himself as being so to Harry
in ch28.

My brain is really hurting now...
