She was asked if there was any link between Snape and 
vampires, and she said, "Erm...I don't think so." Some people 
think that was a devious answer. Some don't.

Pippin:
Many cultures have vampire legends and some include the 
possibility of sexual congress and reproduction with humans. It's 
not an idea that comes strictly from games or anime.

 Interestingly, there is no ancient British vampire folklore -- all  
vampire stories in English must ultimately draw on   foreign or 
literary sources.  Under those circumstances, it's hard to say 
what a particular author would consider standard or original.
