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!

We already know Tom Riddle/Voldemort is a half-blood, Lasereth.
She mentions it in at least two books.
Rowling said it wasn't HP or Voldemort, and I doubt she would have another Tom Riddle from the past show up, since she has already used that plot devise in CoS.

I like this quote from there, red.
(they're talking about the ever lengthening sizes of JKR's books)

Q: Wow! Why do they keep getting longer?
A: Rowling is adjusting her material to her readers’ growing maturity. In fact, "Goblet of Fire" features the word "cocksucker" 63 times, up from 8 in the "Prisoner of Azkaban."

I'm thinking the title has to do with Hagrid.
