Spoilers Galore!
I believe that by the end of the book, the theme for HBP is loss of innocence. This is especially apparent after the death of Dumbledore. Harry realizes, particularly at this event, to be put plainly, that not everyone is out to do good. However noble his intentions, some may try to oppose them for no good reason.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, released on July 16, 2005, is the sixth of seven planned novels in J. K. Rowling's popular Harry Potter series. Set during Harry Potter's sixth year at Hogwarts, the novel explores Lord Voldemort's past, and Harry's preparations for the final battle amidst emerging romantic relationships.
Snape is the new Defence Against Dark Arts teacher. The new teacher at Hogwarts, Horace Slughorn, teaches Potions (Snape's old subject).
The Half-Blood Prince is a name found in a used copy of Advanced Potions Making Harry uses that has helpful potions tips and spells written inside, one of which is extremely dangerous. The Half-Blood Prince turns out to be Severus Snape. Half-Blood refers to the fact that his father was a muggle (Tobias Snape) but the Prince part refers to his mother's maiden name (Eileen Prince).
Harry rightly suspects Draco Malfoy of being a Death Eater. Draco manages to sneak Death Eaters into Hogwarts using a pair of vanishing cabinets. Draco was supposed to kill Dumbledore, but finds himself unable to.
Dumbledore and Harry explore Voldemort's past, learning about Horcruxes, which are divisions of Voldemort's soul, making him immortal until they are all destroyed. There are Seven pieces of his soul (three already destroyed) including the one in Voldemort. Harry and Dumbledore try to get one, but the aftermath leaves Dumbledore weak and unable to fight off the Death Eaters.
It turns out the Death Eater that overheard the prophecy and told it to Voldemort (leading to Harry's parents' deaths) was actually Snape. Snape turns up after Draco cannot kill Dumbledore and kills Dumbledore himself. Draco, Snape, and the Death Eaters escape afterwards. Hogwarts is probably going to be closed but Harry announces he won't be returning anyway; he will attempt to finish the work he and Dumbledore started, destroying Horcruxes so Voldemort can be destroyed.

Loss of innocence
Plus, I believe that Snape and Dumbledore set the whole thing up. They kinda pulled a "Star Wars," killing. Ya know? Like, Dumbledore knew he was going to be killed by Snape and he wanted Harry to see it, so he could finish Snape off. See what I mean?
