	There is an Irish fairy called the Love-talker (Gaelic Gean-cannah 
or Ganconer.) 
	According to Katherine Briggs' indispensable guide, An 
Encyclopedia of Fairies, this fellow appears in lonesome valleys, 
smokes a short clay pipe, and is in the habit of making love to country 
maidens and then slipping away, leaving them to pine to death. 
	
There's a poem about him by Ethna Carbery at

	And just to bring this back on topic, some of us find Snape's 
ability to hold a class spellbound an argument for the pro-vampire 
cause, notwithstanding that McGonagall has that ability also.
