When has JKR said flat out that he's not a Vampire?  I've only read a 
comment where someone asked her if Snape "had any connection with 
Vampires," and her response was, "Erm...I don't think so..."  This 
sounds like she was skirting the issue to me.  He can still be a 
Vampire without having connections to other Vampires.  I find the 
fact that Lupin assigned a Vampire essay right after Snape's Werewolf 
essay, AND made sure to mention it to Snape right in front of Harry, 
very suspicious. As for Snape being out in daylight, if he can brew a 
potion to keep Lupin from transforming during a full moon, I'm sure 
that there is something for a Vampire.

Debra, who agrees with Gina.<

The Vampire essay was not right after the Werewolf essay. The Werewolf essay 
was in November, the Vampire essay was in March, apparently 4 months had gone 
by and Lupin kept to his schedule of what he was going to teach. As for the 
potion, it doesn't prevent Lupin from transforming into a werewolf during the 
full moon, it keeps him aware of who he is while in the transformation and able 
to overcome his need to bite a human being.
