There are severalSeveral things in this little scene that will prove important. This is the first time Slytherin's locket and the Peverell ring are seen. Both will be turned into [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Horcrux|Horcruxes]] by Voldemort, though we do not know yet what Horcruxes are. In [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 33|the next book]], readers learn why the ring's destruction is necessary, and how Dumbledore injured his hand. In the final book, it is revealed that the ring's stone is one of the three [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Deathly Hallows|Deathly Hallows]].

Harry chides Hermione for claiming that the Half-Blood Prince could be a girl. While he is quite right that a royal female is a princess and not a prince, in this particular instance Hermione was more accurate. The "prince" referred to here is not a royal title at all. Rather, it is someone's surname, and it could therefore have applied to either a male or female. Although Hermione is ultimately wrong that the book's previous owner was a female, nor does she realize yet it is someone's name, that surname did indeed belong to a woman, and she was related to the book's owner. Hermione demonstrates that her logic is more abstract and intuitive than Harry's typical linear reasoning. Rowling is dropping a subtle clue here that readers should look beyond the seemingly obvious.

It would seem thatThe Half-Blood Prince's handwriting could possibly reveal his identity. On the notes that were pinned to Harry's [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Invisibility Cloak|Invisibility Cloak]], the handwriting was described as "narrow [and] loopy." The note about [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Grimmauld Place|Number 12, Grimmauld Place]] was a "narrow handwriting [that] was vaguely familiar." Both were written by Professor Dumbledore, as are a letter in "narrow, slanting handwriting" Harry received [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Half-Blood Prince/Chapter 3|earlier in this book]], as well as the note Harry [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Half-Blood Prince/Chapter 9|just received]], also in narrow, slanting handwriting. Harry recognizes the similar style; and we can suppose that Dumbledore deliberately made his writing more ornate and loopy when sending Harry the Cloak as a gift. However, we are not granted this clue regarding the Half-Blood Prince. In [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix/Chapter 15|the previous book]], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Severus Snape|Snape]]'s grade on Harry's essay is described as a "large, spiky black 'D'," while the Half-Blood Prince's notations are noted as "small, cramped writing." Snape was the Half-Blood Prince, though the handwriting does not reflect this. Snape's writing may have changed over the years, or he adopted a different writing style to cram all his thoughts in the limited book margin space. A hint may have appeared in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix/Chapter 28|''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'']] when, using the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Pensieve|Pensieve]], Harry observes the young Snape as he is writing. Harry never notices any similarity, however, leaving us unable to make any connection via the writing style.
