Ah, but just because Snape is at Hogwarts does not mean he isn't 
doing a bit of vampire hunting ;-) Plus, it is the idea that Snape 
could either be a vampire or a dhampire that is the point. He could 
have special abilities, hunting or other, that might be of use to 
Dumbledore.

Yes, Snape could have a natural talent in the dark arts due to what 
he is. Yet there could be many other reasons for his knowledge. We 
don't know where he grew up. Let's hope we find out soon! 

I will still support the theory of Snape being a vampire until I'm 
proven wrong. Vampires are mentioned in the books. We are surely 
going to see them soon. 

I must point out that we never hear Snape expressing a desire for the 
DADA job and he never shows a dislike for potions.
