Gently, please. 
Though I  have to admit that if I had been more closely involved in 
this thread, I would have exploded long since.

Although the proponents of Snape!Vampire  come up with canon
mentions of vampires, at no point have they linked them to Snape.
The best that has been produced is that he has been described as
'swooping like a bat'. When rebuttals are made, the thread somehow
shifts to differences in vampire characteristics in different lore or
the existence of an hypothetical potion.

The absolutely key point is *You must link your points to Snape
with canon* to justify the Snape!Vampire theory.

When asked for evidence of this connection the responses so far
would shame a politician.

But, since you express such certainty, and in an effort to prevent 
bloodshed:
1.  Please state concisely your definition of a vampire. 
2.  List, with canon references, where Snape actually corresponds 
     to these.

No 'maybe's, perhaps's or possibly's'. The actual canon please.

This is your chance to make your case without all the verbiage that
has accumulated over the past few days. You  have a clean slate.
Prevarication, evasion or lack of canon connection will be taken 
as a failure to make your case.

That will not prove that Snape *isn't* a vampire, of course, but
it would explain the failure  of many to be convinced.
