To become a a vampire lord you have to let a normal vampire scratch contaminate the entire body, just let it spread for several days. Then you have to complete a mission enabling you to become a stronger, more powerful vampire, eventually you have to go to a castle that you need to take by boat becuase it is too far away for you to swim and a man convinses you to let him bite you, therfore you then become a vampire lord, enabling you to turn in a moster form and bite, reserect, summon gargoils and have your own hench men and so many other neat tricks that a normal vampire canot possess. Old and off topic, but you actually don't have to do anything but start and follow the Dawnguard questline. At the part Lord Harkon offers to turn you, just accept. No need for a lesser vampire to scratch you. Unless, you want to side with Dawnguard? Complete the questline and ask Serana to turn yourself.
