I also want to add that I really liked the Snape is a Vampire theory.
There is a lot in canon that points to some kind of connection,
unfortunately, the connections were interpreted incorrectly.

If we keep it simple the easiest connection is that Snape has
predatory characteristics.

This idea acknowledges the connection without giving Snape a
condition that let's him off the hook for his bad behavior.


Look at one theory I believed - 

Ron=DD

The most complicated idea is that the connections I saw between Ron
and Dumbledore meant that Ron was Dumbledore. (DUH!)

The easiest explanation is that there is something symbolic going on.
Ron represents the Gryffindor line of defense (chess game, The
Philosopher's Stone).

Maybe the Weasleys and Dumbledore are related to you know who.

Or, even simpler, JKR is foreshadowing Ron's future skill as a
strategist in book 7.
