 Why is it important that Snape be a vampire?  He's much more
 interesting the way he is.  <

Pippin:

 It seems that JKR wants us to understand that, like Kreacher, 
every part-human is "a being with feelings as acute as a 
human's."  So what is it about Snape that would become less 
interesting if he were a vampire?  

As for "non-wizard" that would, I take it, mean "not legally allowed 
to use a wand," which would provide an excellent reason for 
Snape to disguise his vampire-nature, if he has one.
