Ginger, (who btw, is not a lawyer, just a factory worker and 
convenience store clerk, but thanks anyway):

So am I, June, so am I.  
Unfortunately, JKR doesn't give the evidence until the book in which 
it is needed.  She only lays hints and possibilities.  I know others 
have pointed out the Sirius and Scabbers hint-laying in book one 
which comes to fruition in book 3, so I won't bore you with details.

The vague (and sometimes really, really vague) hints have been 
enumerated, but I have seen a bit of a pattern.

All books:  mention of vampires, giving Snape *really* vague vampire-
like descriptions.  And I mean *really, really* vague.

Books 1 and 2:  (setting the groundwork) only what is above

Books 3 and 4:  (building upon the groundwork by presenting 
parallels) setting a precedent for:
Characters who are revealed to be something out of folklore (Lupin, 
Hagrid)
The possibility that magic or "breeding" may alter the state of the 
person effected when compared to traditional views (Lupin's potion, 
Hagrid's half/half nature)

Book 5:  (building on the groundwork with things related to the 
subject) giving a "way out" of traditional views using established 
canon (the replenishing potion, which could be used to alter the need 
to feed, and is consistant with Lupin's potion as a magical "way 
around" tradition.

Book 6:  If Snape is a vampire, I predict a continuation of the above.

Book 7:  Again, if Snape is a vampire, the revelation, followed by 
half the list telling the rest of us "I told you so" and Pippin 
becoming Prime Minister.  Just kidding on the last part.

Evidence?  Not a bit.  Hints?  Clues?  They're there.  Like you, I'll 
believe it when I see it.  But it is such fun to discuss, and so like 
JKR not to give us solid, verifiably facts until needed.

Ginger, Vampires, vampires everywhere, and nary a nape to peck
