Best. Typo. Ever. :-D

Re: Snape, I'd go with a big black spider going with the way people 
tend to get associated with things in canon. Physically it connects to 
his teenaged self's movements (I believe they're described as jerky and 
spider-like), which have smoothed out with age, but I can imagine teen!
Snape being a scuttling spider while grown!Snape has become a more 
impressive hunter--repellent to some, but efficient, powerful and with 
amazing powers. Plus, of course, his house is "Spinner's End" and that 
in itself links to Snape spinning tales to different people as a spy. 

I wouldn't go with cockroach because I'd want to get some "sting" in 
there. And I associate them with survival and Snape, in the end, was on 
a bit of a suicide course for Lily (the Malfoys have some cockroach 
qualities though!). And I'd go for spider over bat, despite his robes 
billowing in a bat-like way so he swoops and him looking like he's kept 
out of the sun.
