after what Dumbledore had shown Harry about Tom Riddle, it should have been obvious that TR/LV might be the Half-Blood Prince, and it would have been clear that Harry should ask Dumbledore about it.
Actually, no. The book was less than 50 years old, too recent to have been Tom Riddle's.

Azkaban as a future location--hadn't given that ANY real thought, but it makes a lot of sense. We haven't seen the last of the creep Lucius, I'm certain of that. Fletcher was arrested, wasn't he? I seem to remember that he was near the end of HBP.
The dementors are going to feature prominently in book 7, I think. All that breeding...
