She is very secretive about those types of things.  IF Snape is a 
vampire and Hermione does know then maybe she waiting for more proof 
before telling Ron and harry.  She might not even tell them at all 
though because she could be afraid that they might take it the wrong 
way and go off telling the whole school.Then if Snape found out that 
it was her that figured out that he was a vampire he would do 
something to her or Gryffindor House to make them pay.  He would not 
be very happy...that for sure.

Potioncat:
I don't think Hermione is keeping anything back out of fear.  But 
she does seem to know something.  Since she is supportive of Snape, 
I would think it might have something to do with DD's trust.  Or 
maybe she really knows what JKR meant by "Erm, no connections to 
vampires."  (Paraphrased)
