Snape as a vampire? I have a hard time buying that one. There has 
been no evidence of this so far in the books. He is however 
connected, at least in his past, to Lord "He Who Must Not be Named". 
It was mentioned in the fourth book I believe that he bears the mark 
of the Death Eaters.  Snape for whatever reason chose to desert the 
dark side and come to the good. 

At the Quidditch World Cup many a Death Eater fled when they found 
out about Lord He Who Must Not Be Named's return- out of fear from 
deserting as well as cutting a deal with the Ministry of Magic for 
their release and freedom if they repented and turned in other dark 
wizards for the Azakaban prison. Perhaps Snape is one of those who 
has made the deal with the M of M for his freedom. Perhaps he knows 
something or has a connection a bit deeper to He Who Must Not Be 
Named that has not been revealed yet in his activity.

Regardless, he is a former Death Eater, now one of the Order of the 
Phoenix protecting Harry and keeping his activity confined to 
Hogwarts as potions master.  In the books remaining that will come I 
think that Snape will encounter He Who Must Not Be Named and 
possibly killed for his regarded treason to the dark arts by turning 
good.  I think we will find out why he was a Death Eater to begin 
with and why he went good. I think that perhaps he may have had 
connections to Harry more than just as a school mate of Harry's 
father, James.   It may not be as far fetched as one thinks to 
assume he may have played a role in James and Lily Potter's deaths.

Though I am just speculating, I have a good hunch and I'm usually 
pretty on target with my hunches... We will wait and see.
