Julia:

Yeah, you're right in that points but... If there were  canons for Snape drinking blood etc. , we 
wouldnt have been considering this topic. And btw this are obvious signs of being a vampire, 
and JKR just isn't obvious at any point, she likes mysteries.

He could be other type. There're vampires who don't die when they see the sun. Or he could 
be half-vampire (I'm supporter of this theory).

But if he is a half-vampire he can have a wand (like Lupin). We cannot consider which Vampires 
or Werewolves are more dangerous because they both are (though in different ways...)

Consider the possibility Snape is half-vampire

I dont understand why you compare being a vampire to being pregnant... I dont have my 
sources in anime and movies. I read a few about Vampires. But remember that JKR creates her 
own world based on her imagination so there are some creatures which dont exists in real world 
(legends, myths)

These all things dont make you a vampire but I cant say that they cant be some clues. 

Julia who thinks that Snape is more likely to be half-vampire :D
