This has been quite a controversial topic. The fantastic posts 
site seems to be down at the moment but here are the numbers 
of some pre-OOP messages on the subject :

>From the world book day chat :

Megan: Is there a link between Snape and vampires?

JKR: Erm... I don't think so.

Whether that was a disdainful denial or a wheezing waffle 
depends on your point of view. JKR also remarked at the 
Edinburgh festival, in answer to the question of whether Snape 
is a pure blood wizard:
----
Snape's ancestry is hinted at. He was a Death Eater, so clearly 
he is no Muggle born, because Muggle borns are not allowed to 
be Death Eaters, except in rare circumstances. You have some 
information about his ancestry there.

You'll notice she didn't answer the question <veg>
