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. 

Pippin:
She hasn't quite squashed the part-vampire theory. It could be that
he is part-vampire just like Flitwick is part-goblin, via  some
remote ancestor and it's not  relevant to the plot, so she doesn't 
want to confuse us.

 Or it could be that it's quite relevant and
Jo is not being full or frank with us. She said she couldn't be, until
Book Seven is out, so you have to take everything she says with 
a grain of salt, IMO. None of it lies, maybe, but not the whole truth
and nothing but, either.

But the answer to the question is that Snape was in the daylight
twice.

Once in PS/SS at the Quidditch match he refereed, where it was so
close to dusk that when the very short game ended, Harry could hear
owls hooting. And once at the Quidditch final in PoA, a brillliantly
sunny day. Snape was there in green with a very grim smile. 

I'd like to hear Jo's explanation for his photophobia. Maybe she'll do
another interview after Book Seven, no weasling allowed!
