June begins a list of standard vampire traits, of which I will list 
only the first:

  Allow me to run through what I

Ginger, shaking her head at herself for butting in on the *opposite* 
side of the stand she normally takes:

In OoP, Arthur takes a Blood-Replenishing Potion every half hour (OoP 
p. 488 US).  Could this be a dropped hint?  Snape "eats" in the great 
hall.  (Rats!  I shouldn't have snipped number 2 of June's reasons:  
vampires don't eat.)  Like a 3 year old, he picks and moves things 
around and then proclaims himself "done" and then goes off to his 
dungeon for a nice replenishing potion.  The other staff knew Lupin 
was a werewolf and don't comment on his abscences.  Perhaps it is the 
same with Snape.  They know, but don't comment.

Too bad they don't have a dog in the hall, it would make it easier 
with one under the table to whom to feed the scraps.

Ginger, who doesn't think Snape is a vampire, but is willing to play 
both sides of the net in debate.

Intrusion over:  June and K- carry on!  I'm enjoying this.
