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

Right, have been giving this some thought.  Firmly still on the fence.
However when the question asked was there a connection, it didn't ask
if he was one.  Now, I may have this wrong, but in my understanding
of English.  Connection could mean several things.  He has vampire
friends, or even one in his family.  I have trouble seeing as it
meaning he is connected yes or no, but being one or not.

Also, another question in the chat had JKR refusing to say about Snape's
patronus etc, as it was too much of a giveaway.  Now that is interesting.
