Have a nice plate of crow--if the H/H shippers have any left <veg>

There are part-vampires in both folklore and literature. In Jewish 
legend vampire spirits could take human form long enough to 
impregnate a woman or seduce a man. There are half-vampires 
in the role playing game Masquerade and in the anime movie 
series Vampire Hunter D. 

In Rowling's world we have already met  part giants and a part 
Veela. They  appear human but have attenuated characteristics 
of the non-human parent. A part vampire would presumably be 
much the same; recognizably human but with some traces of the 
other species, such as a nasty disposition, talent for the Dark 
Arts,  an affinity with bats, a preference for low light, and superb  
mind powers.
