> > In all the books I've read wolfsbane has always been used in 
reference to protection against werewolfs, not vampires. In fact 
the only mention of it in reference to vampires that I recall is 
in Belle Lugosi's Dracula. I might be wrong, it does happen, but 
I'm pretty sure that wolfsbane hasn't been mentioned in any of the 
HP books in relation to vampires, so I think that the makers of that 
quiz book probably had knowledge of the dracula connection and used 
that for the question rather than information actually found in the 
books. 
'Cause I too agree that wolfsbane being a deterant to vampires 
disproves the Snape is a Vamp theory, which is definately a theory 
I support. < <

I also thought it was a strange question since I have read and re-
read the books several times without noticing anything about
vampires and wolfsbane. Unfortunately I don't own any of the books,
so I started to doubt my memory...
About the vampire!snape-theory I just found out (via
designerpotions.com) that vampires are classified as "non-wizard
part-humans" -that doesn't sound like Snape at all!
