I agree with Susan here. While the snake influence probably grows stronger
in GoF, PS does describe Voldemort's face as "chalk white with glaring red
eyes and slits for nostrils, like a snake." So the snake influence *is*
already present!

In any case, the movie face seemed rather big boned, with a thick nose, if I
remember correctly. (Which I may not - my memory of film is blurring badly -
I'll have to find an excuse to see it again this week when it premieres in
CH.) Didn't seem very white either - though with the light coming from
flames, the chalk white color may not have shown up.

Baaaaaa!
