What they're trying to say is that if a dementor takes your soul...you're not you anymore. So Vampires MUST have souls. But the dementor takes everything...you're soul....you're being...who you were....you're memories. They basically take everything and leave an empty human husk. When a vampire is changed....his being is not taken. He still remembers who he was and his past. But that doesn't mean his soul is still there. A human soul is called that because that is what it is...."a human soul." Once the human-part is gone...the soul will leave. I myself don't believe that a vampire retains a soul. If they do...then it would have been transformed as their bodies would have been transformed. Most vampires kill indescrimanately....and have no ill feelings of killing innocents...or children. Most even delight in the torture of their victims before they become food. I don't think that vampires have "human" souls. They might possess something...but it's not human.
