I like the title! That is a pretty damned good question as to who the Half Blood Prince is. I'm sure she won't cop out and bring up a new character, but I really have no idea who else it could be. My guess is a character that wasn't thought to be a half-blood but really is (I.E. Draco). My girlfriend has a REALLY good theory: she's talking about Tom Riddle. Tom Riddle could be a half-blood, and he's a major character in the books by another name (Voldemort, of course). JK Rowling is known to be tricky, and that'd fit the bill perfectly for her style. She didn't say Tom Riddle wasn't the Half Blood Prince...she said Voldemort wasn't.
*EDIT*
My girlfriend just pointed out that Tom Riddle's dad is a mudblood, stated quite a few times in Chamber of Secrets. Whoops, I think we just found out who the Half Blood Prince is!
