Snape is NOT a vampire

Hi, I was considering Snape after reading the FAQs (thanks for those by the way) and I realised that there was a crucial piece of evidence that everyone had missed - Snape is not a vampire.  To take from Sherlock Holmes, it was "the curious incident of the dog barking in the night" - "but the dog did not back in the night" - "That was the curious incident."  (silver blaze)

Now, this would probably not be mentioned in a child's book, but Hermione (and the other forth-year girls) must have started their periods by now.  My G/F said that she started at 13, Hermione must have started by now.  Now, what does this slightly perverted line of thought lead too?  When the girls have their periods, they must smell slightly of blood.  Now, most vampire literature has the vampire driven mad by the smell, them having sharper noses than humans, and therefore a vampire  would attack the girl, perticuly in the cramped dungeons.

If Snape was a vampire, he would be driven mad by the smell, and therefore hermione would have not to attend potions class while she was on, same for the other girls.  If this happened, surely hermione would have complained about it (this is the girl who stood up for the house elves), even if it is for her own safety.  Also, people would have had a fit at the thought and sent more letters to Dumbledore than were sent complaining about lupin.

Thoughts?

Chris
