In Pathfinder Player Core 2, page 318, glossary entry for "void healing", "A creature with void healing draws health from void energy rather than vitality energy. It is damaged by vitality damage and is not healed by healing vitality effects. It does not take void damage, and it is healed by void effects that heal undead."
In Pathfinder Player Core, page 335, inside entry for "Heal" spell, "If the target is a willing living creature, you restore 1d8 Hit Points. If the target is undead, you deal that amount of vitality damage to it, and it gets a basic Fortitude save."
Dhampir are the only creatures, that I can find, that have the "void healing" ability, but do not have the Undead trait. Their interaction with the Heal spell is unique to them. Since Dhampir are not undead, they would not take damage from the Heal spell. Since Dhampir have the void healing ability, they do not heal from the vitality healing. This makes the Heal spell have no effect on Dhampir.
Possible errata to fix this ambiguity in the rules:
1) Give Dhampir the Undead trait.
2) Change wording in the Heal spell to include "target is undead or a creature with the void healing ability" (instead of just "target is undead").
3) Add a FAQ that specifically details the interaction of the Heal spell with Dhampir.
The Harm spell also has this wording problem.
