Could Snape be part goblin?

Hi, I have posted before, but only once, ages ago and under a 
different name. Then my Yahoo account dissappeared. Anyway, with all 
the posts about whether Snape is a vampire or not I thought I'd weigh 
in with my theory. I do feel it's fairly logical and would be 
interested in whether anyone can find anything in canon to 
refute/support it.

To start with I thought it was unlikely that Snape is spying on 
Voldemort, LV would have to be pretty stupid to accept him back 
without real proof that he was a DE. So it seems like Snape has 
either proven he is a DE, which I don't believe, or is not spying on 
Voldemort. So then I thought, if he hasn't gone to join the DEs, 
where has he gone? Well, the other two people on dangerous missions 
that summer were Lupin and Hagrid, both liasing with non-human 
beings. So I wondered if Snape were doing the same thing for the same 
reason. Isn't there supposed to be a pattern of threes in the HP 
books? In that case it would be logical for him to be liasing with 
the goblins, as the other major non-human race mentioned in the 
books. It would be a dangerous task to judge by the fact that the 
goblin rebellions were eventful enough that they are all Harry ever 
seems to study! And as the other two envoys were half-breeds it 
seemed logical that Snape could be one too.

His appearance could be said to support this theory, as he is 
described as having a hooked nose and sallow skin. Also goblins have 
a sadistic streak, judging by some of the traps at Gringotts.
I apologise for a long post, but thought that if I was going to toss 
another Snapey theory into the mix I ought to justify it.

Khilari.
