Perhaps because they are not beasts but people, or more strictly
speaking, the undead, bodies separated from souls. OK this is just a
theory and not backed by very much except they are humanoid in shape
and feed off human emotions. Also by way of an extreme lateral leap
they could be related to the veiled gateway, where Harry and co hear
disembodied voices (trapped souls), and where Sirius has according to
Lupin 'gone' and 'can't come back' but specifically no one says he's
dead and there is no body!

So that makes Sirius the vamp not Severus and you've gotta to love that!

Harry can search for a solution/rescue in book 6 and find that the
gateway is the product of salazar (its very ancient maybe 1000 years)...
