How do you propose that these half-vampires even come to exist? The way I interpret vampirism, you either are or you aren't - there is no in-between. (pause for Kelvin to fish chips out of his shirt because some just fell down there) I don't understand how the undead could possibly produce a child with a human (but then again, I also don't really understand how veelas and the lot can produce a child with a human). This gets into a WHOLE nasty mess of genetics and whatnot (for example - what DOES make a vampire? Is it a genetic evolution of sorts that occurs when one is turned? Or is it simply the fact that vampires are undead?).

Personally, it's never made sense to me to have ANY half-human characters in the RP (but that's because I think too much and want to understand the biology of it all....Ravenclaw in me, I guess). I always thought of special characters pertaining more to seers, animagi, etc.

Anyway, point is, until there is proof from the Potterverse that half-vampire-half-wizards even EXIST, I'm not sold. We have proof that werewolves/half-werewolves (or whatever the percentages are) exist, and we have proof of people who are part veela, but there is no mention of anyone who is half-vampire.
