Half-Blood Prince
Partly noble heir
Half-Blood Prince is the self-styled title of a character in J.K.
Rowling's Harry Potter series, revealed to be Severus Snape—son of a witch mother and Muggle father.
The term combines wizarding blood-status terminology with royal pretension, suggesting both mixed heritage and adolescent grandiosity.
The sixth book in the series, *Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince*, takes its name from this alias.
