Yes, I would have liked a clear cut answer also.  She easily could 
have said yes or no.  If she would have answered like she did some of 
the other questions it may have given too much away.  If she would 
have said, "Wait and see" then we would assume there was a 
connection.  If she would have said, "there is absolutely no 
connection between Snape and Vampires" then we would know there was 
not.  She answers it as "I don't think so" which is neither a yes or 
a no, so we can still think that maybe there is a connection.  I just 
do not see how others saw her answer as a "there is no way Snape is a 
Vampire" because that is not what was said.    Diana
