Oh I don't really think he's an animague either, only that it was a 
possibility. And there are some batlike things about him, I believe his 
appearance is likened with a bat on a few occasions (nourishing the 
Vampire!Snape theory which I absolutely do not believe in)

Bats have good hearing (their sonar) - good thing for a spy.

Bats are small animals - easy to hide and I don't think LV would notice a 
bat hanging under the cieling or in a tree

Bats are cute (OK totally irrelevant here, but .. I like bats and I like 
Snape so if he IS an animagus I'd like him to be a bat. More than a snake. 
Unless he's Nagini *L*)

Allthough I don't really believe in the animagus thing, I can see certain 
things that allows for it. First of all, it's apparently not THAT hard to 
become an animagus - Pettigrew has never struck me as any genius, yet he 
could transform. And IF Snape found out (but that's not mentioned totally in 
canon, is it?) that the Marauders were animagi, it would be logical for him 
to prove that he could be one too. Jealousy or just a need to prove himself, 
I don't know. HE might even be the first of them  - perhaps he was an 
animagus allready at his arrival at school? He did know a LOT of spells, and 
probably not ONLY dark ones...

And then there's this thing that if he wasn't present at the graveyard, I 
can't see any way that he could keep on spying on LV.
