Poll: Snape's Animagus Form
If Severus Snape had an Animagus form, what was it?
Vote for your favourite choice and feel free to comment why you think so.
Bro if anyone wants a really cute fanfic with Snape as a fruit bat hit me up
So realistically I would go for bat, snake, raven, or panther. Sneaky, stealthy, powerful.
But I chose flying fox because....how freaking adorable is that?!
And doe?...dude does are female 😂 I didn't know your animagus form could change your sex.
Stag....he would commit suicide...without hesitation. He'd right climb up the Astronomy tower

Do you mind sharing it here?
Thanks but I actually meant this link here:
My choice of animagus form is a bat because Snape is the Bat of the dungeon. 😹😹
There are many comparisons of him as a bat and I don't think it's a bad thing. I've read many fics where Snape's animagus form is a bat and I don't see him in any other form.
I've always said that the raven represents Severus so well, especially given its spiritual meaning and representations, which is not merely just of 'death' as it is incorrectly portrayed as.
I answered this in another patronus post, so I'll just copy/paste it here.
A raven is symbolic of quests, prophecies, and connections to the spiritual world. I think of Lily in this instance.
In urban legends, Ravens are portrayed as prophetic beings and guides. They symbolize wisdom, protection, healing, and death. They symbolize change, transformation, guidance, and reflection. They are guardians and the keeper of secrets. They are silent observers of the environment and help one to understand deeper truths. They are cunning, adaptable, and intelligent creatures.

Ravens are a symbol of quests and guidance. In this case, I like to think of the raven as a fulfillment of that quest and as the true symbol of what Severus stood for, and the life he led. The raven is a testament and honor of that, and many of those qualities still ring true for him.
Canonically, he is guiding Harry and because this animal is a connection to the spiritual world, Lily becomes the one who connects them.
Ravens often represent the darkness and cleansing of the soul, and act as spiritual messengers and adventurers, leading the way to enlightenment and new beginnings. They often serve as spiritual guides that lead one deeper into their own subconscious, cleansing out old-held beliefs and allowing for insight and intuition.

The Raven, in my opinion, is so very well-suited for him.
Seconded, I also see Severus's animagus and patronus forms as those of a raven, and they are really well-suited for him.
Noooo! Bats are winning the poll.
Ravens are often misunderstood and misrepresentative, just like Severus.
Everything else would basically be a copy paste from @sanctuaryangel 's comment.
