That's not even my main problem with the undead thing.  It's the
aging.  We've now seen Snape as child, as a teenager, aging perfectly
normally.  That's just not undead.  If the point of Vampires is that
they have somthing to do with immortality, then what's with the
parents, the childhood, the aging?  

I'm wondering if Lupin's Vampire-tease may not have been related to
Snape having had some vampire-thing in school-- I mean beeing keen on
them or wanting to be one.  <wrinkles nose> It's not a great
explanation, but I've been trying to think of some other Snape/Vampire
connection and that's the best I could come up with.
