Snape being Half Blood Prince

People were wondering why Snape would call himself the Half Blood Prince. I tend to agree with Hermione. On page 637 we find out that his mother's name was Eileen Prince. This makes Snape half a Prince. We also learn his father was muggle. So he would be a half-blood. Of course, Snape wouldn't want to claim his muggle half, so he claimed his Prince side. So, he is a half-blood and he is a Prince. Hence the name.....just my thoughts.
