It will be aesthetically unsatisfying if turning into a snake helps.
Note that on Quirrell's "Evil Overlord List", Rule 34 ("I will not turn into a snake. It never helps.") has been replaced by (translated from Parseltongue) "Become Animaguss. All ssensible people do, if can. Thuss, very rare." (Per chapter 49)
Or, "I will turn into a snake. It always helps."
It's a weird coincidence that the rule would have number 34.
Well, there are more than 33 rules. It's not a particularly weird coincidence.
Not weird, perhaps, but rule 34 on Quirrel's snake form is certainly creepy.
