Fact: LV experimented with extending his life toward the end of the 
reign of terror
Fact: LVs followers switched from being known as the Knights of 
[something or other] to the Death Eaters toward the end of the reign 
of terror
Fact: LV laments (end of GoF) that one DE may never return.
Fact: Snape left the DE toward the end of the reign of terror and 
joined with DD.

Theory: LV started to experiment on his own followers toward the end 
of the reign of terror.  There name, DE, literally meant that he was 
exposing some of them to potentially deadly things (in his 
experiments)
Theory: Snape, being the picked on one at Hogwarts, was also picked 
on by LV.  
Theory: LV transformed Snape into some sort of vampire like creature 
(or just a plane old vampire).  LV was trying to perfect an 
immortality technique, but it went wrong.
Theory: Snape was either left for dead or fled following the 
experiment.  He lived for a short time as an outcast.  Hating himself 
and afraid to interact with others.
Theory: DD finds Snape (through his spy network) and cleans him up.  
DD initially wants to find Snape for information, but ultimately 
feels sympathy for him.  Snape proves his loyalty (maybe offering 
good information about LV) to DD.
Theory: DD offers Snape a position as potions master at Hogwarts.  
Asks Snape to also act as a double-agent (either by milking Malfoy 
for information--which I think is the probably true--or just 
pretending to go back to the DE).
Theory: Snape is full of inner rage, which continues to fester over 
the years.  He hates LV, but he also hates most the OoTP.  Both sides 
picked on him.  He is torn between them.  He doesn't even know which 
side he will stay loyal to in the end.  DD might even know this.
Theory: Snape and Harry will develop a relationship toward the end of 
the book.  The Occ. lessons started to reveal how similar their 
backgrounds were (both raised in bad homes).  Harry will eventually 
apologize to Snape for what his father did to him.  Harry will extend 
the olive branch.  Snape will seem to reject it.  In the end, Snape 
will probably give his life battling LV or the DEs to save Harry.  He 
will do this because (1) Harry apologized and (2) Lilly was the only 
person to ever stick up for him.  This is the redemptive aspect of 
Snape's storyline.
Theory: The HP books are all about forgivenss.  That is what is in 
the room in the department of mysteries.  That is what Lilly did (in 
her mind) before LV killed her.  That is the ancient magic.  Harry 
will have to find it.  So will Snape. 

This, of course, is all theory.  Please don't respond to this 
with, "where's the canon."  It is my attempt to show you how some 
canon and the Snape!vampire theory might make sense.  Why it might be 
important.  This is how I hope it boils down.  I don't think it would 
be cheap and I would really like to see Snape, wand in hand, a couple 
potions in his belly, battling it out.  Afterall, Snape is my 
favorite character (besides the flying Ford)
