Pippin:
Here's the quote you're looking for:

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

and the link:

It's from the World Book Day chat.

Recently JKR's  wizard of the month did confirm my longstanding
and much maligned theory that there are part vampires. It's
perfectly possible, IMO, that Snape is one of them, much as
Flitwick is  said to be part goblin  but like Flitwick's ancestry
it will never come up in the story, and therefore shouldn't 
engender theories about how it affects Snape's nature or fate.

Flitwick's ancestry:
