Pip,
Ahhh! Suckered by Hollywood *hangs head in shame* I'm generally
pretty up to date on folklore and mythology, I should have known
better...anywho...Regarding bats, as far as I've heard, vampire bats
aren't really dangerous (aside from being disease carriers), but are
more like big mammalian mosquitos. I believe Snape is far more
dangerous then that, it's more a matter of who he decides to target
with his dangerous abilities...I hope that makes some degree of
sense, but I'm probably rambling again :-)
