Dungrollin:
Sorry to burst your bubble, but JKR has now shot this theory down 
*twice*. 

First here:

World Book Day Chat, March 4, 2004:
Megan: Is there a link between Snape and vampires? 
JK Rowling: Erm... I don't think so.

JKR: It's when people get really off the wall — it's when people 
devote hours of their time to proving that Snape is a vampire that I 
feel it's time to step in, because there's really nothing in the 
canon that supports that. 

Sorry,
