Lilian (having laid down her huge pair of scissors):

I have this fleeting vision in my head that at the time MWPP and 
Snape were learning transfiguration, after OWLS, Snape was perhaps 
turned into a cockroach. In PoA, if I remember correctly, McGonnagal 
is telling a student off for turning his classmate into a badger.
Just the thing MWPP would try to do to Snape, once they mastered that 
spell, don't you think? Years later, it is still funny to Lupin and 
that's why he turns the Moon!boggart into a cockroach. Ah, happy 
childhood memories! (well, not if you're Snape of course)
