  As pipsqueak said, not all folklore has vampires turning to ash in 
  the sun. The Vlad Dracula of Bram Stoker could walk around in the 
  day, albeit a bit more sluggishly than he did at night.

  And besides, we've already got a half-giant in Hagrid and a werewolf 
  tamed by potions in Lupin and whatever the hell Flitwick is.

  Why not a half-vampire? I know that under traditional lore, vampires 
  can't mate (notwithstanding Blade) but who cares? Or... Snape has 
  taken similar potions as Lupin to cure himself.

  I'm not saying I LIKE the idea, but it is possible.

  Now me:
  i don't think he's a vampire, a half-vampire or anything near it. He's not affected by sun, he's not afected by garlic, and he eats and drink like a normal person. Doesn't look like a vampire to me. I think JK was just trying to describe him, and the bat-alike description is a very powerful image, that's all. But again, maybe I'm wrong.
