J.K.'s hint

[ronweazley122]

Did any one notice that J.k. said that The half blood prince was the original title for Chamber of secrets?she also hinted that "it isn't harry or V0ldemort" In the second book,Harry asks dobby if voldemuart is the person after him,and dobby replies,"No,sir,Not Voldemort!" at the near end of the book,harry asks dobby why he said it wasn't V0ldemort,and dobby tells him it was tom riddle...that before,He could be named freely...Is J.K. giving us a subtle hint?

[Ginny Weasly]

hmmm, that is something to think about ron.

[Kiara Johnson]

hmmm, I still think it's perhaps Seamus.

[Fawkes]

or Dean Thomas?

However, on JK's site in the FAQ section, one of the questions is: Is Tom Riddle the Half-Blood Prince?
And she answers...
Well, as Tom Riddle is the same person as Voldemort, and Voldemort is NOT the Half-Blood Prince... do I really need to answer this?

So yeah. Unless that's not what you meant at all and I missed your point completely. (Afterall, it IS 12:30 in the morning.)

lol, no, it is not Riddle/voldem0rt ppl.  They are the same person, regardless what their names are, they are the same person.  I still agree with Kiara and perhaps..Dean, maybe.
