Whether you think Snape is a vampire or not you have to admit that 
JKR is constantly dropping vampire references in the books.  Indeed, 
vampires are the single most talked about magical creature in the 
entire series (and we have yet to actually encounter one). Now, if 
Snape is a vampire, than this whole scene has a second dimension 
which foreshadows (those who say JKR doesn't foreshadow are 
incorrect, she does all the time, it is her strength) Snape's 
secret.  In fact, this is the way JKR always weaves her mysteries.  
She drops little hints (Lupin's moon, Lupin missing Christmas dinner, 
etc.) and then drops the bomb in the end.

Maybe Snape is not a Vampire but an Animagus--perhaps he can change 
into a bat!  Snape's pensieve dream would be quite funny if it had a 
different meaning than what we are lead to believe. Maybe James 
Potter's gang real purpose was to "out" Snape in front of the school. 
Didn't the book state somewhere that Snape was always following the 
gang around trying to find reasons to get them expelled? What if 
Snape found out that they were all unregistered Animagi...? 
Maybe they were sending Snape a message: "We know that you too are 
also an unregistered Animagus!"  So, they hang him upside down, like 
a "bat," in front of the school. Snape knows the real meaning of 
their attack while everyone else understands it as we do.  
Snape dwells in dark cold places right? Bats like cold caves... 

I tend to go to far with these theories...
