From a content profile node, that node's owner is going to be the user for 
which it is a profile.

From a user, there is a Relationship handler for the content profile module 
that can get you to the corresponding node, from which you can then pull 
fields.

Sadly I don't know of a full-on relationship handler from nodes to their 
users, which would let you get from an arbitrary node to its owner to that 
owner's profile nodes.  But I have been wrong about such things before. :-)
