JKR did stop short of a clear denial. It could be that Snape's Patronus
is a bat. Maybe even a vampire bat. That would explain the hedging
on JKR's part. Or perhaps Snape has some vampire friends (assuming
he has any friends ;). With Snape's physical description (deliberately?)
evocative of vampires, and JKR's hedging a bit on that question, I do
think there's a good chance Snape has some connection to vampires/bats.

Guess we'll have to wait to find out for sure.
