I still don't get how it could have been used for CoS. Unless she had the idea of using it to refer to Tom Riddle in that book, but just liked the name, and is now talking about another character in this book. But then why would she say this book refers closely to CoS?
I think the big connection is the blood issue. CoS focuses a lot on the Mudblood/muggle born issue and the discrimination of it.
I think she intended to use the Prince, as a sub story but then decided it was too important and needed a book to itself. I doubt the Prince is actually named in CoS at all. I think CoS is important because of it's themes and implications.
