Vampires, in the classical sense, were drawn with pointed ears because it made them resemble bats whose pointed ears help them to hear. In reality, a Vampire is simply someone - anyone - who consumes blood. Many people in history practiced it because they believed it would keep them young forever. There are people today who practice it. None of them had pointed ears or gained pointed ears from the act. Or if anyone did, it wasn't because of the act but something unrelated.
Incidentally, however, the concept was to some degree proven correct (see the related link).
It was shown that young blood can reverse the aging process. However, if you were to consume blood, the blood component would be destroyed by digestion and would cease to be of value. Which is why no one gets younger by drinking blood.
It is biologically possible, however, for a classical vampire to exist. If an individual had a mutation that allowed them to ingest blood without digesting it and they consumed the blood of the young and healthy, this blood would keep the indivudal young forever and provide all their nutritional needs. Because it is biologically possible, it means there is a chance the Vampire stories have a root in truth. However, none have been proven to exist and certainly not with pointed ears.

Can you make a dog's ears floppy?
You can't make a dog's ears floppy if they are supposed to be pointed because their ears, like ours, do contain bones that make the shape of them. True, a dog's ears can't change from points to floppy, but you can change the next generation of dog's ears by breeding the pointed-ear dog with a floppy-ear dog.
