to which moi, Alex says:
And perhaps Umbridge is part toad, based on JKR's all too numerous "toad-like" 
descriptions of her... But realistically, I have to agree with Carol that there's no evidence to 
support a Goblin!Snape theory. 

I think it's just descriptive coincidence that Snape looks vampirish or goblinish. Come on, 
everyone...Snape is a creepy guy who teaches potions and has an office in a dungeon. His 
lifestyle dictates that he spends most of time in the dark. Take it from someone who lives 
in Seattle and works indoors during the day--sallow skin is an unfortunate side effect of 
such a lifestyle. Vampire and goblin lifestyles have similar constraints of being indoors 
during the day. Snape is human. My pale skin doesn't make me any less human.

Alex, who sincerely believes that JKR recent comments completely shot down the Vampire!
Snape theory...
