"I have dozens of them, each more unlikely then the last" If only I could get one to work. Unfortunately they all require a part of my imagination coming to life which needs either magic or money that I don't have.

I've never had magic. Tell me when u get another stock. <yawn>
New rumor:
Do u or do u not think that Snape is a vampire? I personally think that theory is way out there and don't support it but what do u all think?

*pretends that there isn't already a thread on this*
I believe it, but I think that he is part-vampire. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to go out into the sunlight and stuff. Unless, that is, he takes a potion so he can function like a regular wizard. Why do you think it is way out there, Zach?
I mean, he lives in a dungeon, is always awake at night, and has been refered to several times as 'batlike.'
Plus, Galadriel made me pick up on something else. Remember the werewolf essay Snape assigned in hopes the students would discover Lupin's secret?? Isn't it a tad suspicious that Lupin assigned a vampire essay after that? Heheh, perhaps a form of retaliation, somewhat?

But wouldn't have hermione noticed that, if they had to write an essay on it?
Well, it's possible, but wouldn't it be a little too similar to the whole lupin/warewolf thing?
But it would answer some questions about him.........
And have you noticed how he has some kind of *sixth sense* thing going on? (i think that's how u'd describe it)
Afterall, he's always just popping up there when harry is in trouble or doing something wrong, like all the times harry's been in the corridors at night, snape's nearly always known he was out, or the time in book 4 when harry had to get dumbledore to help barty crouch snr, snape was there, in the way as always..........

If he was a vampire, or part-vampire, he wouldn't sleep at night, right? So perhaps he wanders around the school instead, seeing what students are out of their beds and getting them into trouble for it. Who says Hermione hasn't noticed it? Or, maybe in the essay, she discovered that there was no cure for it, so she assumed Snapey wasn't a vampire. But then, after the book in which she found this out in was written, a problem-fixer type potion was invented. Snape could have invented it, he is the potions master, after all. |

But wouldn't there be more reason to be suspicious or worried about him if there wasn't a cure?
But maybe he's not a vampire, but an animagi? (i think that's hot u spell it).
Maybe he turns into a bat?
I think I've heard it refer to him in the books as him being "as quick as a bat" ot sneaky like a bat or something.

Lupin doesn't have a cure, but he does have a potion that keeps the symptoms at bay. I'm thinking Snape might have something like that... Yeah, I know that Quirrel said something like, "Flutting around like an overgrown bat," about Snape at the end of the first book. |

Ron said he wouldn't put it past snape to turn into a bat but ron is usually wrong when he sums up stuff(rule #4) It's way out there because vampires (check knight bus book 3) have been said to have waxy white skin. Snape has sallow skin. And he isn't ALWAYS up at night, he was only up in harry's first year to check on quirell's doings. He was only up in the 4th book because someone attempted to break into his office. Plus, he goes outside and eats at hogwarts feasts, vampires can't be in the sun or eat.

We don't yet know if those typical vampire stereotypes hold true in JKR's world, though.

But JKR had her characters confirm on the knight bus that vampires have waxy white skin, and we know snape has sallow skin so logically...

Well...Perhaps he's PART vampire.
Or maybe the potion changes his skin tone.

Geez trish. Dyu believe every single one of GW's theories? So far we've got u believing the two [way out there] theories of james-lupin and vampire snape. I don't blame u though, she really catches that subtle stuff.
