Dark Creature Favortism?

[author_by_night]

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've no idea--I figure JKR just didn't think about it, but my guess is that Vampires are sexy and werewolves are savage, a common stereotype of the two. They may also be less contagious so that a vampire bite doesn't turn you into a vampire. It may be something you're born with instead of having to be a person who contracts a disease over which they have more control.

Hm, interesting about them being less contagious.
