"Lapdog" and "snivel"

I've found this thread very interesting, but can't help but wonder 
how many other degrogatory nicknames can be made from 'Severus'...

I can't think of any.

On the basis of that, it seems to me a mite odd to infer a huge 
amount from Snivellus.  I somehow don't think JKR came up with the 
nickname and then cast around for a name for Snape that would fit 
it...

Anyone more creative than me?
