Okay, this is my first post so go easy on me.  If Snape was *born* anything vampiric, he would have to be half-vampire since we know that pure vampires traditionally can't go out in the sun (and yes I'm assuming JKR's vamps can't stand sunlight).  When he was at Hogwarts he certainly could go out in the sun because in Snapes Worst Memory JKR points out that the sun was shining brightly (or dazzling or something like that) just before James starts taunting Snape outside the castle.  Since he was out in the sunlight at that point, he couldn't have been born pure vampire.

Just backing you up although I also don't know how you make a half vampire but I guess if you can make a half giant then anythings possible.
