Maybe I'm way off base, but I've always thought Snape to be 
very "Battish". I lean towards the Snape is a vampire theory and 
that his patronus or animagus would be a bat. The way he drapes his 
cloak around him, always seems to roam around the school at night, 
prefers teaching in a dark dungeon and is never seen eating. Perhaps 
this is why J.K. Rowling said she would not want to have dinner with 
Snape. The main loop in my theory is that Snape does go outdoors in 
daylight, however if he was able to make a potion to prevent Lupin 
turning into a werewolf maybe he also has a potion for his vampire 
tendencies.
