Steve, one thing to consider is that the HBP isn't necessarily a 
wizard.  For that matter, he doesn't even have to be *human*.  I saw 
a theory that the HBP is Hagrid, and that seems posisble to me -- 
Hagrid is certainly a half-blood.  The pathetic remnant of giants 
seems to have a chieftain type of government, so perhaps they had a 
king back when they were larger and more organized.

Me, too -- isn't that what we were supposed to do?
