Chris had commented:
>>  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.<<

What are your sources on vampires?

>From everything I've read/heard, vampires don't go crazy and attack 
someone simply because they smell a bit of human blood on them. They 
are presented as having more self-control than that. Everything I've 
come across emphasizes their ambush method of hunting: singling out 
a human, stalking them, getting them away from prying eyes, getting 
close without spooking them, and _then_ biting them to make them 
bleed. Just like a lion or leopard would do to a impala.
