Snape Insults All Snakes
Yes, I do realize that snakes symbolize my House. And I'm are that my own name is similar to the word 'snake.' But in case you are not aware, snakes have literally ruined my life. The Dark Mark burnt into my skin bears a snake--and I absolutely hate it. I wish I never had it, and I wish it was gone. Then, a bloody huge snake nearly ate the boy I was supposed to protect... What was I supposed to do if Potter had ended up as a tasty snack? My life would have been meaningless then. And everything I did nearly became worthless when the Dark Lord's snake KILLED ME. I will have nothing to do with such creatures, as they all seem to hate me. 5000 points from Slytherin.
