I love that part also.  I can see Lupin rubbing that *vampire essay* 
in Snape's face.  Not that I blame him either. I think he did it to 
remind Snape that he knows about the vampirism and not to mess with 
him. Lupin didn't appreciate that little assignment Snape gave his 
class.  Can't wait for Lupin to be back.  Of course, he had to leave 
because Snape showed Lupin you don't mess with him either!

Right before all this happens, Neville and Harry are discussing the 
vampire essay and Snape comes upon them.  Hint, hint. Vampires and 
Snape.

There are many things I would like revealed but don't think we will 
see in book 5.  If he is one, I too would like to see it sooner 
rather than later. I have my reasons why I think he keeps it hidden 
but it's rather long.  I posted it in snapefans so I hate to post it 
here.  I'm too lazy and most people don't want to hear it anyway ^_~

Yep!

I don't think I have posted hardly anything on this board about it.  
It's in snapefans, where Snape lovers talk about Snape at all times 
with other obsessed fans.

Dean Thomas wants a vampire DADA teacher.  How funny if there is 
already a vampire teacher at Hogwarts and none of the kids know it!

Just a couple of paragraphs after Dean's remarks we read this:

A muscle twitched unpleasantly at the corner of Snape's thin mouth 
every time he looked at Harry, and he was constantly flexing his 
fingers, as though itching to place them around Harry's throat.

I personally don't care if Snape is one or not.  It won't kill me if 
he isn't.  Still, I think it could make for a very interesting story 
and there are just so many hints about it in the books.  Then again, 
JKR has fooled me on just about everything.
