*slaps Jamesy for his comments*
I think the half blood prince will be a new character as well, like the idea about Draco getting more evil! And would also love to find out more about why Dumbledore trusts Snape!

The 'romantic' style of writing isn't anything new, it's been done for centuries and that's why there's similarities to LOTR, Star Wars, Harry Potter etc. | |

The other Death eaters or whetever they were called only pretended to switch sides after HE was gone so they could get lighter sentences etc
Also the fact that Dumbledore has known Snape since he was a pupil. | |

Just about anyone could be a the prince guy when you think about it, except Hermoine (unless they were gonna go for a HELL of a twist :P).
