Hm. I'm not sure I agree with this. I think the Snape wordplay would 
be a false latinization (not a word, I know, I know) of 'severe' for 
his first name, and a play on 'snake' for his last name. So we have an 
untrustworthy character who is strict to the point of severity. Sounds 
like Snape to me.

Additional note: 'Severs' is, IMO, a long shot for vampirism, as I 
know of few vampires who behead their victims.
