Kemper now:
Harry's perspective describes a bat-like figure flying to the
perimeter wall.  But it's dark.  

Combining the bat-like imagery and the snake like imagery though out
the series and ignoring any spider imagery entirely, I think Snape's 
animagus would be a winged snake.  Not Quetzalcoatl, with his colorful
plumage... No.  Just your average fiery, flying serpent called a
seraph.  Fiery meant the serpent had a poisonous bite or tongue. 
Which is fair to say of Snape.

Of course seraph have angelic meanings as well which could also be
relevant.  Angels don't have to be compassionate.
