Valky:
Yeah *that* hideout, where Peter Pettigrew spent year OOtP... 
because it's not really caved in, that's just a trick of the eye Tom 
Riddle Ginny conjured in year COS.... 

But I am not sure why that would point to Snape being a vampire?
Are you saying that Our Marauders *chose* a place that Sevvie would 
by impulse steer well clear of?
That kind of makes sense I suppose.
 
OTOH what about the foe glass, Pippin? Whose foe glass does he 
appear in? Crouch!Moody's? If that's the case it could also be 
explained as Sevvie was curious as to why he was Moody's foe, when 
they are supposedly on the same side. Or maybe he was keeping and 
eye on it so that he could avert "Moody"'s eye from it and avoid him 
seeing what might be truth about Snapes alignment in the foe glass..

I just might try to debunk Vampire!Snape, I am fence sitting at the 
moment... I don't think that Lupin is a veangeful type, he probably 
set the essay as a cute joke I'd say, but then again I could be 
convinced otherwise....
