I feel like this is going to be a really good one.
I have so many possible ideas, but none of them fit quite right.
whee I love the riddles that give semi-easy little hints like half-blood. When I see things like that I think, "Oh awesome! That narrows it down...to a lot of people still."
Yay false hope!

[Juliette Capulette]

I'm guessing...Voldemort?
or if I'm wrong, Harry?

[Juliette Capulette]

I have no reasoning for Voldemort,
but I can try for Harry biggrin

Never was guilty,
Despite overwhelming proof,

He was always kind and di the right thing, but the Ministry and the Prophet depict him as a liar and etc. People used this bad publicity as proof that he isn't as great as some think he is.

A Half blooded friend,
Of justice and truth,

He is a half blood, and like I said he always did what was right and fought for justic.

Not known to their friends,
Who get angry and shun,

When the rumors about him surfaced, some of his friends and schoolmates shunned him and believed the prophet more than him.

Larger than life,
In more ways than one.

He was truly great. He had great courage, great kindness and a great sense of justic. He overcame death when he let Voldemort kill him and he survived. He always put others before him.

There's my guess smile

[Z OMG]

Wit beyond measure...

I'm going to guess Albus Dumbledore

Never was guilty,
Despite overwhelming proof,
I'd suggest this was about Ariana's death.
And his manipulation of Harry for 'death'.
And his plans with Grindelwald about wanting to suppress the Muggles. The 'overwhelming proof' being the letter in Rita's book.
A Half blooded friend,
Of justice and truth,
His mother was Muggle-born even though she 'pretended otherwise' and obviously, Albus is a champion for justice. ((God, I fell like Sailor Moon XD)
Not known to their friends,
Who get angry and shun,
Not many people knew about Albus' friendship with Gellert and they get angry at Rita's book and is it Elphias Dodge gets really angry and tells Harry not to believe a word of it.

In more ways than one.
Well, he's Albus Dumbledore lol :]

... because Death Eater's do it better.

[GladexDeraxCloud]

gellert grindlewald? probably wrong but all my answers were taken so this is my new guess!

Never was guilty,
Despite overwhelming proof,

he never personally killed ariana but it looked that way

A Half blooded friend,
Of justice and truth,

it could mean that he had dumbledore as a friend who belived in justice and truth

Not known to their friends,
Who get angry and shun,

many people didn't know that dumbldore and grindlewald were friends but the few people who did know got angry

In more ways than one.

reffering to the philosophy for the greater good the two of them came up with

[Mage Trisana Chandler]

Kay.
Yet another obvious guess, even though my bet is currently on Anika's guess.
Sirius Black is my next answer.

[flight815kitsune]

[Z OMG]

Did one of the Weasley brother's have an illegitimate daughter that no one knew about?

Wow. I'm struggling to come up with a guess! What a good riddle.

[TheDramaFreak96]

umm, lupin?

[.Herms.]

I'd like to guess Professor Horace Slughorn

I've got some reasoning.

Never was guilty,
Despite overwhelming proof,
He is sort of guilty of aiding Voldemort in learning how to make a horcrux. But he has never gone over to the dark side, and has morals. So in this way, he doesn't truly have guilt.

A Half blooded friend,
Of justice and truth,
It is unknown for sure what Slughorn's status is, but he is either pure blood or half blood. He is a friend of justice and truth in several ways: one he is a personal friend of A. Dumbledore, and two, he maintained his morals despite his ambition and refuses to join the death eaters, three, he helps harry, the figurehead of justice and truth.

Not known to their friends,
Who get angry and shun,
He befriends those he thinks will make it big, but shuns others. He also keeps secrets about his past with Voldie from everyone, even his friends. This secret makes Dumbledore and Harry upset because they need it.

Larger than life,
In more ways than one.
He's chubby and overindulgent. He also prides himself on having tons of friends in high places, thus making him important (and larger than life) by association.
