Dark Creature Favortism?

I apologize to those on my flist who are not into Harry Potter, but this is a poll I want to make available to those not necessarily on my friends list.

I have noticed that Vampires do not seem to be shunned in potterverse, like Werewolves. They have special candy for them, and apparently can be famous singers and invited to Christmas Parties in school (wherein they are followed by girl students.)

So - my poll:

[Poll #857657]

I think it's probably because vampires can control their thirst for blood more easily than werewolves. I mean, they could just drink cow's blood or something to feed their need for blood and then be totally fine around humans.

Also, if you think about pop culture (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, etc). vampires are sometimes portrayed as fairly good looking, so there's that as well. xD

True, although then, Werewolves have Wolfsbane... so I dunno.

Looks could very well be part of it, at least for teen girls.
