Harry Potter Again

Oh please, like that would've worked. Can you imagine the fanboy/girl outrage if they changed the title of the movie? Let's disregard the fact that the title of the book was kind of stupid on its own (Naming an entire book after what essentially amounted to a subplot? No thanks), that aside, people still would've bitched a lot more about that happening than the plotline seeming rather shoe-horned in (Which it honestly kind of was in the book too).
It was basically a shitty situation all around.

An alternative solution would be to have filmed another 15-20 minutes of the Half-blood Prince subplot so that, when the revelation comes, we actually know about the character in question. HBP was only like 2.5 hours long as it stands. If you're going to sit through a movie for 150 minutes, I, for one, wouldn't mind spending another 15 so that the movie has some sort of cohesion and satisfying closure.

You're probably in the minority on that one. Two and a half hours for a movie that is essentially for teenagers is a bit much as it is, clocking in just shy of three hours would probably really hurt it. I really don't see much room for adding the HBP subplot. What I think they'll more likely do is make reference to it in the eighth movie. It would be very easy to slip reference to it in Snape's flashback at the ass end of Deathly Hallows.

Because Harry tried to use a spell created by the hald-blood prince against Malfoy and also against Snape. So I think Snape knew about Harry having the book.
That's the best answer I can think about.
Orbert:
I guess. The half-blood prince had all kinds of great notes in his books, and Harry was definitely fortunate to get them, but I didn't realize that the HBP had actually cooked up his own spells. So when Snape said Harry was trying to use one of his own spells against him (right before the "big reveal") I didn't quite buy it.
But whatever. I think we're all in agreement that that part of things was poorly handled.
