Draco's symptoms in HBP---my own theory

Rereading HBP, I was struck by the description of Draco Malfoy's 
symptoms.  Pale, listless, wan, off his feed---this being a fantasy 
novel, these symptoms do not add up to "werewolf," at least in my 
experience.

They DO, however, practically scream "VAMPIRE!!!"  For the gods' sake, 
this sort of thing is classical Vampire Victim Syndrome!

And if Drakey-wakey found that part of the bargain he had to make with 
Lord Voldemort was being regular snacktime for a hungry vampire, that 
would explain also why he was so very troubled.  He probably had an 
image of himself, heroic in his DE robes, wielding magickal power and 
striking down the unworthy, not being used as a human bloodbank to keep 
a vampire alive.  

Hmmm...an acronym, an acronym, what shall I do for an acronym?  How 
about DAVE---Draco As Vampirically Edible?
