If Snape could become a cockroach as a teen he would have 
used this ability to escape the werewolf and the Prank as we 
know it wouldn't have happened. 

I have a feeling the silvery orb is a prophecy orb and not the 
moon at all. " Or did you realize that the boggart turned into the 
full moon when it saw me?" is, like many other things that Lupin 
says, equivocal.

Someone else suggested that a cockroach would be  a far less 
ominous thing to find in the dark and dusty hall of prophecy.
