Tell us more--how did that happen?

All of this how-people-of-various-Houses/personalities-might-fall-into-evil 
has my mind turning to the Potters.  In PS/SS 4 (it is frankly scary that I 
can cite that without checking), Hagrid says right out that it was odd 
Voldemort never tried to get James and Lily on his side before, and that he 
might have come to their house on Halloween 1981 to do just that.  Hagrid is 
frequently wrong, and it's an idea that never surfaces again, but I wonder 
if it's going to prove to be key.  *Did* V try to win them over, then or 
earlier?

And what about *Wizard* Part-Humans?  Are vampires who are wizards 
automatically slated for better treatment?  Or are they perhaps *less* 
protected than Muggle vampires, and vampire hunters can legally hunt them?

I do love spinning the Snape-is-a-vampire theory, and the many bits about 
vampires throughout the books make me think and hope that we're going to 
meet one sooner or later, but I actually hope it isn't Snape.  We've already 
been there, done that with Lupin, and to a lesser extent, with Hagrid.  If 
another teacher turns out to be part-human, part-scary-creature, I'm going 
to yawn.  Got Polyjuice, anyone?  There's an unregistered Animagus over here 
who's thirsty.

It gave Harry a look that said quite plainly:
