	Okay, I didn't phrase that carefully...the objection some people 
have to the part-vampire theory is that vampires, unlike, say, veela, 
are not alive and therefore cannot have offspring. Thus, there can be 
no such thing as a part-vampire.

	The potion theory is plausible. I like the part vampire theory 
because imo having a dual nature, perhaps even two souls, would explain 
a lot about Snape, including how he is able to mislead Voldemort who is 
so good at knowing when someone is lying.
