Why Half-Vampire? Because I like to think he was born that way, and was
already vampiric as a Hogwarts' student. But in canon, we've seen him 
age,
so he couldn't have been just a pure vampire, or his age would remain
static (unless JKR decides to play with that, which could very well be 
the
case - more on this in a bit). I actually have a rather specific 
backstory
in my head for this: Snape's maternal grandmother was a pureblood
"aristocrat" who'd fallen on hard times, and so basically "sold" her
daughter (Snape's human mother) in marriage to Snape's vampire father.


Me now:
This stirred  my somewhat perverted imagination in a delicate  
direction.

How does one ...umm...produce a half vampire? The ..ah.. mechanics of 
it intrigue me.

Some safeguards must be in place otherwise you immediately end up with 
*two* vampires who eventually produce a vampire child.

Obviously, an impervious neck guard would be useful. Maybe the 
afflicted mate has to visit the dentist for a total extraction before 
the ceremony. Of course, if you're into more exotic fun and games, 
various types of bondage might appeal. Entering a Honeymoon Suite 
heavily laden with garlic cloves, crucifixes, a coffin filled with 
earth and a wooden stake is original, to say the least.

How is it done? I think we should be told.
