Vampires

In the  Potterverse are vampires considered to be human?

Yes, in mythology they  are classed as derived from humans, but does 
this apply in the  WW?
I've searched the likely sites seeking clarification but can't find any 
canon or near canon references.

It makes a difference to the theory of Snape being one. According to 
MBAWTFT, only humans are allowed wands.

Suppositions based on accepted lore are not particularly helpful, JKR  
tends to put her own twist on folk legends.

Can anybody find a canon reference?
