Not true that this is the sole basis of the theory!  The vampire-
essay line is just a particularly delicious bit IF Snape is a 
vampire.  Besides, the idea isn't just that Lupin chose to twist the 
knife at that moment, but that he *assigned* the essay in the first 
place to do to Snape what Snape did to him.

There are lots of other, smaller things that bolster the theory--all 
the references to swooping like a bat, Dean's wish to have a vampire 
professor, etc.  They are tiny, but together they could be a Clue!

who wonders why she keeps speaking up in support of this *&#$% theory 
when (a) she doesn't buy it and (b) it makes darling Lupin out to be 
kind of a jerk--but then again, wouldn't he be boring if he were 
*too* angelic?
