Snape IS a vampire

Snape /could/ be using potion to make him bear daylight, have a 
reflection, able to bleed and keep him safe. The potion would not, 
however, agree with garlic... At any rate, vampires *are* 
considered "persons" which is why the centaurs preferred to be 
considered beasts... *They* obviously do not like vampires at all. If 
Snape's seen in a friendly chat with a centaur, that *would* dismiss 
him as vampire. This has not occured yet.

Another possibility is that Snape's mother was pregnant with him, 
being bitten and thus Snape is a half-vampire with much ability to 
act like a human (just that he can't stand garlic). This would also 
allow him a wand - Hagrid's half-giant and he has/had one, so why not 
a half-vampire? Or as Lupin the werewolf had a wand, too.

Then again, he /could/ be just human with a disease of fake-
vampirism, using a regular potion to help him get by.
