So we know that Voldemort's appearance became more snakelike as he made more horcruxes and dove deeper into dark magic, but why did he become more like a snake and not more like any other animal or creature?

Relate: How did Voldemort's face get disfigured?

    It's his favourite animal? The Slytherin connection? His Parselmouth abilities? To mark him out as the bad guy? All viable options, none of them proveable. – The Dark Lord Jun 29 '17 at 15:28

    @TheDarkLord Well, you should know! ;) – Obsidia Jun 29 '17 at 16:11

    It is possible that it was a conscious choice. There is no evidence for or against this possibility, but he clearly has an affinity with snakes (being related to Slytherin, speaking parseltongue, choosing a snake for a horcrux, etc) – Magikarp Master Jun 29 '17 at 17:05
  • Are you entirely sure that his face became 'like a snake' rather than simply being deformed? And that deformity making him look 'snakelike'? – Valorum Jun 29 '17 at 21:21
  • I'm not satisfied that this question is different enough to re-open. Most of the answers in the linked question make mention of his snake-like tendencies anyway. – Möoz Jun 29 '17 at 21:50
