Me:

I myself am not atttracted to the idea of Snape beng a vampire, and I 
really hope he is not :-) The only "real" clue for him being a 
vampire (or a "half vampire") is as I see it the interesting little 
detail that Lupin assigned a vampire-essay to be written by the 
class, after Snape had made them write an essay about werewolves 
clearly wanting someone to discover Lupin's identity (the only one 
who did was Hermione)... It could be Lupin's way of "getting back" at 
Snape, and it might not. But it would be just like Rowling to leave a 
clue like that in the text :-)
