Exactly! What is with the parents? I'm no expert, but I always 
understood that vampires were created by one vampire biting a person, 
not by two adult vampires getting it on. Even if one of the parents 
were human, I imagine the vampire parent would be infertile. To me, 
that would be a natural by-product of being undead.

We also see teenaged Snape sitting in a dark bedroom. In my 
experience, bedrooms tend to have beds in them. Why is he sleeping in 
a bed? Surely the bed isn't there for decoration. What gives?

Also, how the hell is Snape supposed to owe a life-debt to James if 
he's UNDEAD?!!
 
If Snape is a vampire, he's the crappiest one in literary history. He 
walks around in daylight, eats normal food, looks in mirrors, sleeps 
in a bed, has cruddy yellow teeth, dirty underpants and, apparently, 
isn't even immortal. Next thing you know, we'll be seeing him in 
church!
