Grey Wolf:

vampires  and other undead belong to that group.<<

Perhaps not. On page xiii of the preface to FBAWTFT, it says the 
centaurs objected to some of the creatures with whom they were 
asked to share "being" status, such as hags and vampires. As 
Ellen pointed out in her original post, some types of  vampires 
are not revenants.

vampires (Sinistra, Snape, The Balaclava dressed figure.) but 
actual, for sure references to vampirisim.

Quirrell says he has to pick up a new book on vampires in Book 
One, chapter 5. 

CoS:
The title of one of Lockhart's books is Voyages with Vampires. 
He claims to have dealt with one so that it could only eat lettuce.

Harry's reaction to the photo of Sirius Black in PoA ch. 3:
****
Harry had never met a vampire, but he had seen pictures of them 
in his Defense Against the Dark Arts classes, and Black, with his 
waxy white skin, looked just like one. 
****

****
In GoF ch. 9, one of the Veela-bespelled young men at the QWC 
claims to be a vampire hunter, and to have killed about ninety.

In GoF ch. 10:  According to Percy, Rita Skeeter wants the 
Ministry to stamp them out, but this is apparently forbidden by 
paragraph twelve of Guidelines for  the Treatment of Non-Wizard 
Part-Humans.

******
And in the CTWSNBN Quirrell is apparently lecturing about them  
(which I note just in case JKR told them they *had* to mention 
vampires somewhere.)
