I think that Y is always a vowel because it's sound "yuh" sounds like a consonant but when you drag it out it's just "ee-uh". The letter y just means you need to say that sound really fast so it sounds like a consonant. Still, the rule for vowels is A-E-I-O-U and sometimes Y, so I guess in this case it would be considered a consonant. In papaya though it's a constanant only because it is used as a constanant in the sylable going pa-pa-ya leaving it to recall "Y".
