In CALL OF THE WILD (ffnet, Wolfie Twins) werewolves and vampires 
hate each other. They give metaphysical reasons about werewolves, 
being both animal and lunar, are attuned to nature's cycles of life 
and death, while vampires have removed themselves from that cycle. 
Also, a vampire who tastes werewolf blood goes very painfully 
incurably insane, screams in agony day and night until hiser fellow 
vampires stake himer as a mercy killing. And vampires (other than 
Lamia, presumably) smell like carrion to werewolves (who apparently 
do not share domestic dogs' fondness for eating or rolling in 
carrion).

If Snape is human, then Moony would try to bite, mangle, and devour 
him when in wolfy phase: it is the human smell that sends the 
werewolf into an uncontrollble obsessive-compulsive plus emotional 
rage + hunger + craving to destroy... In my universe, anyway.

I thought you were a Snape fan! What do you mean, eating him 
*disclaimer* would be bad taste!
