+(my comment_ regarding vampires on AO3)
+
+    Technical question of the day. Would the Homonum Revelius
+    spell reveal a hiding vampire? I figure it will reveal
+    a hiding werewolf but they’re still sort of human. Aren’t
+    vampires supposed to be “dead” and so would such a spell
+    reveal them?
+
+I don’t like vampires. I think it was one of small jokes by JKR
+which cannot be developed fully, because it really doesn’t work
+with the rest of the universe. To the realistic bourgeoisie world
+of more or less rationalist down-to-earth craftsmen, shop owners,
+ministry officials, you suddenly get a creature which works in
+completely different world: much more mythical, unearthly, etc.
+Every fanfic story which tries to involve vampires more fully
+ends with disaster (Northumbrian has his Auror Camelia Tepes, but
+I think she doesn’t exactly fit into what proper vampire should
+be).
+
+Concerning Homenum Revelio, I don’t know. I think it so border
+case, that both situations could be allowed. Again, vampires are
+not only non-human (which works perfectly fine for house-elves,
+centaurs, goblins), but they are not even alive. It is complete
+mess. I just try to forget they ever existed.
