What if Snape was a vampire?

What would have happened if The Sorting Hat had insisted on sorting Harry into Slytherin? Or what if Harry had become friends with Draco Malfoy instead of Ron during their first journey on the Hogwarts Express? Wander into alternative Harry Potter universes here.

What if Snape was a vampire?

Sorry, this idea may make no sense whatsoever and i apologize if it has been brought up earlier. But think about it...he lives in the dungeons...hardly ever goes outside, and aren't vampires like Dark Creatures or something, and he could make all those potions to keep himself under control? And they have mentioned vampires in the book but not any specific ones...What do you think? Its just hypothetical, it would be quite neat if it happened.

It's not such a weird thing to consider! It could be the reason why Dumbledore doesn't let Snape have the DADA-teacher-job, because he essentially still is a dark creature. Oh wait, Lupin is in a sense such a creature too (werewolve) so that'd a bit awkward because he did get the job..

But vamparism is a permannet affliction and lancrythopy (sp!?) only affects you for 3-4 days a month.

But I'm sure Snape has been outside in daylight in some book so I doubt he's a vampire.

There we have it, and I'm sure he went out to watch the progress of the Triwizard cup a number of times in GoF.

yes, perhaps there is a potion...i mean he is a potions master...there is a potion for Lupin to take to control his ailments, perhaps there is a potion for Snape...

that could explain why his classroom/common room is in the dungeons.

I'm still sure if it were true then something would have been mentioned by now. Like, Snape shunned away from the onion and garlic dip; or Harry suddenly noticed Sanpes prominent incisors..etc.

However, Snape was after Quirrell a lot in the first book....and Quirrell sometimes had garlic in his turban....could this be to keep away Snape?????

the garlic in the turban of QUirrel is making me doubt the theory, although snap could use the same potion he uses to disguise all his other vampire traits?

The garlic in the turbin story was a rumour made up by the children...it wasn't actually true.
