Sydney:

I think JKR shot down the "Snape is a Vampire" theory.  I have to say
(as you detail in your post), there was so much evidence for it that I
was really reluctantly starting to believe it-- and I think I remember
my heart sinking when I read that "he never eats here" line!

Horses mouth:

Megan: Is there a link between Snape and vampires?
JK Rowling replies -> Erm... I don't think so.

I can't tell you how relieved I was to read that... not that I have
anything against vampires, but I think it would have taken Snape over
the Goth point of no return.   I just don't think I could have taken
someone with long black hair and a dark past and long black robes and
a mezmerizing voice who was also half-vampire.  It like, "so he has
the black eyeliner, pouffy silk shirt, and giant silver chain... what
the heck, put him in torn fishnet stockings while we're at it!"

the fishnets OR the pirate shirt, please.)
