YES!  YES!  There is something sort of "ethnic" about Snape.  It's 
the wizarding version of "ethnic."  He's a vampire I tell you!  A 
vampire!!!  He swoops like a bat...allright, allright, I won't 
regurgitate all those arguments yet another time.  But I just HAD to 
point out that Heather's impressions fit right into the vampire 
theory.
