Snape’s DE Past & HBP

Here is an idea that I don't know if anyone has come up with before.
I think that it ties many of the loose ends about Snape together.

Lets say that Snape's father was a vampire. (I am not sure if this 
makes Snape one or not, but he might have some tendencies in that 
direction.) His mother was a pure blood witch, maybe even related to 
the Black family. Since some vampires were royalty, it is possible 
that Snape's father was also.  Snape would be accepted into both 
Slytherin and the DE because he is not half Muggle and the vampire 
part is somehow acceptable to them. Half bloods were allowed to join 
the DE under certain circumstances; maybe this is one of the 
circumstances.  Now consider this:

1.  Snape is potions Master so that he can make the potions that he 
needs to keep from having his father's side come out. Perhaps he is 
well skilled in occumencey for the same reason.

2.  DD does not want Snape to be the DADA teacher for some reason 
connected with his bloodline, for safety reasons.

3. There are things about Vampires and their relation to the WW that 
we have not been told yet. 

4. Snape has never married because of his blood line. Both because 
most witches would not want to marry a man with that background and 
because he considers the Vampire part as a curse and does not want 
to transfer that to any children that he might have.  Maybe his 
gruff exterior is there to keep any would be mate away. (Of course, 
that doesn't seem to be working!!!  Since he seems to has so female 
many fans!)

5.  If he were the HBP, this would partly explain his condescending 
attitude toward many others.  The other reason he would treat others 
in a gruff manor is because he is very intelligent and prone to be 
somewhat arrogant because of it. (and I also think that it is his 
teaching style as well.)
