colebiancardi:
first off, welcome to the group!!
well, JKR did remark when asked this question "I don't think so".  As
vampires cannot be out in the daylight, and Snape does roam around
both day and night, I think that debunks that theory.  And to answer
your question if this was ever explored - yes, yes and more
yes'es....ad nauseam, in fact :)

colebiancardi:

I drink blood-red wine(yum!) & I am very pale - does that make me a
vampyre?  As the Malfoys are seen in the daylight, I think that also
debunks the vampire theory as well.  

but hey, maybe I am not up to date & hip with the latest in vampyre
news - is there a new breed that can tolerate the daylight?
