In the third book he's living on wine and bread, which is widely taken to signify Communion. So maybe you could eke in that he's sorta-kinda drinking blood?
Didn't the verb "banting" get named after a Mr. Banting? Perhaps the process of slimming (or whatever he's doing) via a bread-and-wine diet can become known as "fisherk-ing," emphasis on the "sherk."
If you added vampires from The Hunger (Catherine Deneuve and Susan Sarandon, in particular) they'd interest the "Can't stand seeing their companions grow old" area too.
Yes! John Lithgow. "I may be your teacher, but I still have good enough manners that I won't come in unless the man of the house invites me in." Just like Geraldine in "Christabel."
Okay, but he is notably and notoriously sans shadow when we first meet him. Barrie was totally riffing on late Victorian popular literature in that play (viz. Treasure Island), and the charismatic boy's appearance flapping at the bedroom window of the young Lucy / Amy / Wendy inevitably recalls Stoker's novel, published a mere seven years previously.
