What if Snape was a vampire?

[Meg Boyd]

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

Oh YEAH...*a look of dawning enlightenment grows on Meg's face* I forgot about that little detail...he he he

[Mistress Siana]

I think that rumour came up because Alan Rickman plays Snape very much like a vampire...I mean, the way he foulds his arms really remind me of a bat...anyway, since I first heard about that theory, I tried to find a passage in one of the books in which Snape eats something ( vampies don't need to eat), but as far as I know, there exists none. Strange...

About Quirrell and garlic...he was said to be afraid of vampires since he met one during a journey-I think the same journey he met Voldemort.
Maybe that vampire was Snape? Maybe he was there for the same reason? Maybe it was his mission to discover Voldie's whereabouts and find out about possible helpers? That would explain why Snape knew about Quirrell's true nature whereas DD didn't...hm...

Still don't believe the theory...I just don't like it

but if snape knew about quirrell why wouldn't he have told DD ? but I quite like this thread though

[Kaizer]

LOL, this isnt a rumor I heard...I actually thought of it myself and wanted to know what you guys thought. In a way I hope he isnt a vampire, because then a very big surprise would be ruined!

[Gryffindor Student]

That...would be so FRICKEN SWEET! If Snape was a Vampire. He looks like the Vampire type. And sounds like it too!

[Kaizer]

it would be a HUGE ruined SURPRISE! lol

I've just reread it and the rumour is from guess who : Gred & Forge !

Snape DID know about Quirrell, he tried to stop him in the first book!! The question is: Why?? How could he know?

[Hermy]

Maybe because Snape is spying on the DEs. Any who were in contact with Voldemort would know about Quirrell, so Snape could have found out that way. Maybe.

[Meg Boyd]

Snape has a dark mark tattooed magically on his forearm, right? Maybe being close to Quirrell/Lord Voldemort made his arm burn in pain so he knew something was up...Snape is not stupid he prolly felt his arm and knew the stone was at school and put two and two together and most definatly got 4

[Mistress Siana]

Good point...but then there's another question...why didn't Snape tell DD? The glowing dark mark would have been a perfect proof which DD couldn't have ignored...so, if the tattoo had burned, Snape quite obviously didn't tell anyone. Why??

[Meg Boyd]

a thirst prove his loyalty to Dumbledore and the rest of the community, he WAS trying to stop Quirrel, so then if he caught him successfully he thought perhaps the rest of the wizards would believe he was a new man

[Evil Wizard Petting Zoo]

perhaps snape is half-vampire.

[Evil Wizard Petting Zoo]

so he could stand to be out in the sun a little while and his teeth arent so big and sharp.

I think that JKR said in that online interview that there's no connection between Snape and vampires. Anyway, maybe being a half-vampire would make some sense, but I don't really see it's possible for him to be a vampire. It wouldn't be surprising and I'm sure JKR will come up with something different, something totally unexpected.
