Good morning!
I just read the post and in my memory (everytime I recall it I 
automatically remember the same word, so I'm quite sure about it) 
Snape doesn't say 'Impera Evanesca' (like it was guessed in another 
post), but 'Vipera Evanesca'. I looked 'vipera' up in my Latin 
Dictionary and found out I recalled it correctly: 'vipera' means 
serpent, viper. I know that in the duelling scene I found this spell 
very fitting. It was as logical to me as Draco's 'Serpens Sortia' 
with which he made a serpent 'exit' his wand. 
I am under the impression that Snape addresses the serpent 
and 'links' it to the command to vanish. I still don't know if sheer 
will power directs a spell at the right person/object when there is 
such a big crowd like the gathered students around the duelling 
platform, not to mention the moving serpent itself, and thus believe 
it to be logical for Snape to address the serpent itself.
I know that Snape is a very skilled wizard and probably doesn't have 
difficulties aiming precisely; what I'm just trying to come up with 
is a somewhat plausible explanation for my guess that he 
says, 'Vipera Evanesca'.
