worse than a vampire

I've had a horrible thought about Snape and I have two questions to 
go with it. My idea is that Snape is an animagus: cockroach!
In the British versions, does Lupin turn his Boggart-moon into 
beetles or cockroaches? And does Snape throw a jar of cockroaches or 
beetles at Harry in the Worst Memory event? Even a generic beetle 
would be better than a cockroach!  Here's what made me think this:

page 138 of Prisoner of Azkaban (paperback) Lupin's boggart is a 
silvery orb: "Forward Neville and finish him off!" said Lupin as the 
boggart landed on the floor as a cockroach. Crack! Snape was back.

I always wondered why Lupin used a cockroach as the funny thing that 
would help him fight off a boggart. But what if Snape had also tried 
to become an animagus as a teen and ended up a cockroach, wouldn't 
Lupin find that funny? It would make sense. It also appears that you 
may not be able to choose your animal, although I'm not sure.

Also, Snape's greasy hair is pretty disgusting, as are cockroaches.  
He lurks in dark corners. His eyes are beetle black.

My apologies if this has already been discussed, but I couldn't find 
it in the archieves.

Prove me wrong...Please!
