JK Rowling explains how Severus Snape smells like!

Celebrated author JK Rowling has debunked some of the popular Harry Potter fan theories, including Dumbledore being a time-traveling version of Ron.

The 50-year-old author, who often takes to Twitter to interact with fans and to throw more light on the Potterworld, fact-checked a few fan theories of the hugely popular franchise, reported Entertainment Weekly.

When a fan asked the author if Dumbledore, the headmaster of the wizarding school Hogwarts, is actually an older, time- traveling version of Ron, Rowling replied, "False theory." She addressed another theory that Draco Malfoy is a werewolf and dismissed a persistent theory that Snape is actually a vampire.

"I've never seen that one before. Draco definitely isn't a werewolf (and Snape's not a vampire)."

Earlier, Rowling had revealed that everyone has been pronouncing the main antagonist Voldemort's name incorrectly, as the 't' in the name is actually a silent, 'r'.
