I believe we'll find that the Prank was not made public because the
person who would have been punished the most by it was the totally
innocent party: Lupin.  I don't see what Snape's non-existent
vampirishness had to do with it.

And thanks for your kind advice in your last paragraph, even though
it seems a little - patronizing.  I did consider the Snape-vampire
theory the first time I heard it (years ago) and rejected it for the
reasons I mentioned in my earlier post.  I have not seen any argument
in favour of the theory that causes me to change my mind.
